Bug#684948: cdrom: isolinux fails to load kernel
Package: cdrom
Severity: important
When attempting to boot from CD (tried 6.0.4 Live and 6.0.5 netinst),
I get the ISOLINUX line, followed by 'aborted.', and then the 'boot:' prompt.
Tried various kernels (expert and rescue among others). 'rescue' brings up
Loading /install.386/vmlinuz, aborted, but that is all.
My impression is that the kernel is not loaded at all, it is isolinux
that fails, considering a) that there is no indication of the Linux kernel
starting, and b) that I get dropped back to the 'boot:' prompt.
The system is a Pentium II 450 MHz, with a RIVA TNT graphics card (AGP 2x),
with 384 megabytes of RAM. The computer is from 1998.
The CD's themselves have been tried in two other machines with no problems.
