Bug#555845: cdrom: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 Update CD 20090907: i386 CD 1 --- Won't Boot
Package: cdrom
Severity: important
Greetings,
I can not get the UPDATED CD#1 to boot.
Debug info:
a) I can get the cd drive to read the disk (after Lenny installed from
non-updated #1 cd.
b) Boot sequence of PC is OK. Was able to use Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3
"Lenny" - Official i386 CD Binary-1
20090905-08:23
c) I have burned 3 cds from different sources (torrent, single download,
jigdo). All won't boot
I have read the FAQ about the updated CDs :
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#update-cd
It said "You only need to download either the update CD or the normal
CDs, not both!"
The FAQ did not explicitly sat that he updated CD#1 should boot.
Perhaps the FAQ could be more clear?
I posted a question in the forums:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=46644
I suspect that the missing autorun.inf and tools/loadlin.exe ( and
others?) are the problem.
at the root level, the (updated) cd #1 has only these directories:
.disk
dists
pool
Thank you,
Jay E.
