You can download a small compressed ISO (~167K) [#1] that I made. Please confirm is works or not in mailing-list. Thanks.
For other people that experiments this issue, can be great get feedback from them.
Thanks.
]]>Error 01 is unsupported operation, 42xx is read, so something is really
really wonky as the machine you are on is reporting that the read
command doesn't exist. Most likely it is something that is being
misinterpreted as an error indication, but *what* is the big question.The very early code that emits this message is *identical* between
Syslinux 4 and Syslinux 6. The biggest difference is the size of
isolinux.bin, so it is possible that that might be the source of the
problem.
I wonder if isolinux.bin should be limited to max. 16 sectors (of
2KiB each), as that's the default limit in mkisofs "-G
<generic_boot_image>" option.If that happens to be the case, perhaps there is some additional
option so to reserve more sectors for the boot image?Is there any method to reduce the size of isolinux.bin?
Anyway, entire chain can be found here: http://www.marshut.com/ihnmrv/sysinux-6 … stems.html
]]>Hi,
well, my oldish non-UEFI system boots by 6.02 from CD-RW:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Quad-Core
Mainboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2H AM2 GLAN RAID.
Award BIOS v6.00 PC
There must be some other ingredients needed for failure.> https://www.archlinux.org/download/
This leads me to e.g.
http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/archlinu … 1-dual.isoPut on CD-RW the image boots for me to a menu, where i select
"x86_64". Then a kernel comes up with normal messages and
finally i get a shell prompt for root."ISOLINUX 6.02 ETCD" shows up swiftly before i get the menu.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Details about the image:It bears El Torito with BIOS boot image
/isolinux/isolinux.bin
and EFI boot image
/EFI/archiso/efiboot.imgMBR marks the whole image as partition 1 and the EFI boot image
as partition 2 (i.e. inside partition 1).
There is also a GPT.I brought it onto CD-RW by:
$ xorriso -as cdrecord \
-v dev=/dev/sr2 blank=as_needed \
archlinux-2013.11.01-dual.isoThe CD-RW is mountable and all file content is readable without
i/o errors. MD5 matches 2013.11.01/md5sums.txt
$ dd if=/dev/sr2 bs=2048 count=264192 | md5sum
2535d1308fcc4f12420433dba039b3b6$ strings /mnt/isolinux/isolinux.bin | grep ISOLINUX
ISOLINUX 6.02-------------------------------------------------------------
AFAIK i linked to the page for creating a usb stick , not a CD ?
That's right, but you should be able to install Arch using a CD - and OP can't do it.
IMHO the USB is more tricky and using a CD is straightforward. I have no idea why neither way works.
Use one of the methods listed in the wiki.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … On_Windows
The things is, the CD doesn't seem to work either.
]]>I think the md5sum is okay.
]]>]]>I tried with a USB stick as well and basically got the following:
"SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 ....blah blah...
boot/syslinux/whichsys.c32: not a COM32R image
boot:
"
Can't really do much it seems from the "boot:" prompt unless someone has command that works.
