General :: Mkisofs Command - Booting From ISO Image
Jan 28, 2010
I have created an iso image from a RHEL5.4 disc using mkisofs.
mkisofs -A "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -V "Red Hat Linux 5.4" -v -U -J -R -T
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/RHEL54-x86_64-dvd.iso .
It creates the iso image no problem, however when I go to boot a new server from the disc I get the boot prompt, hit enter, answer the language and keyboard questions and then it throws the following error:
"The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD and press OK to retry".
Perhaps I need to specify in my mkisofs command that its supposed to be iso9660? This is on a RHEV virtual machine.
Iam trying to alter a bootable Debian install CD based on the instructions [URL] this is the command to rebuild the iso image as specified at the above link.
I have an image with a autorun.inf file on it and wanted to make it bootable on a simple cd (700Mb). Untill now I tried and failed to make it bootable. The image is on the cd but the cd won't boot.I tried also under windows (with n?r0) and failed again... no way to boot on this cd with the image I created.I need more informations or how toes ^^ to use the "El-Torito" features for the mkisofs utility that I use to create my .iso files
I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7. I would like to create and burn iso images via the terminal. Assume I have a folder called movies in directory /root/Desktop.I would like to create a movie.iso image ans burn it using mkisofs and cdrecord.
I got 'Mandriva 2010.2 One KDE Europe - Americas' live image with a tech magazine as an .iso. The live usb image created with Unetbootin on my Mint 10 of the iso won't boot. All I get a warning no operating system or something. I tried the Mandriva-seed script but it gives an error
Also tried the isotostick script too but it too won't work. Here is the error message

Not verifying image...(no checkisomd5 in Ubuntu so skipping)! ./isotostick.sh: line 103: /lib/udev/vol_id: No such file or directory USB filesystem must be vfat or ext[23] Cleaning up to exit...
note that the file system of the usb drive is FAT32 and the md5sum of the iso is the same as that specified in the website !!
I need to show a static image with the logo of our department while Debian boots. Is there any easy way or tool to do this? (Any parameter of the kernel maybe?) It doesn't have to be anything fancy (like a progress bar)... just a plain an simple image.
I've seen many bootsplash projects..but most of them are broken. I tried splashy (which is available on the repo), but by the time it loads, my system is already booted, so I don't really like it. note that I don't have any Xorg server installed.
i was trying to install windows xp on vbox, but the cd wont work, so i want to make an iso image from the cd and run it from that. after some research, i found this code to use disk dump and make a raw cd image:
Code:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/cdrom_image.iso
ive done that successfully (making sure the drive is unmounted), but i cant even find the file now. ive searched the filesystem, but it doesnt appear anywhere.
I have used to knoppix to grab an image off a pc to my external hard drive.I then used the command dd if=/sdc1/backup.iso of sda2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror to another pc I was cloning.This process failed and the hard drive was not seen after that even using fstab.Is there any way I can verify if the iso image i grabbed is good.What command can i use to explore this iso image?
I installed an older version of gdm and created a new XR1196 directory in /usr/bin and now my computer only boots into command line...
I can get to the GUI using startx, but in doing so I lose all audio output, and the option to shutdown or reboot from both CairoDock and the default panel...
I have created an image out of 2 other images using the "montage" command. I want to then print it using "lpr". I view the output from montage in XV and it looks fine however when I try to print, it prints the bottom half of the first image then the second and then the bottom half again.
E.g., imagine this: Code: << end of top image << end of bottom image
The above is how it looks in xv however when printed, it looks like: Code: ------- ------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ////////////////// ////////////////// ------- -------
I really can't understand it, I've tried opening and saving the image again but it still prints as above. I don't know if montage is outputting it incorrectly or something, however it looks right on the screen!
I need to be able to boot into the command line, instead of booting automatically into the GUI. I have Red Hat 5, Fedora 12, and also a Suse 11 box that I would like to do this in.
In addition, once at the command line, is there any way to change the command line resolution and refresh rate. I know how to do this in the GUI, but would like to view different resolutions/refresh rates at the command line screen as well.
i was wondering if it is possible too use the DD command to make an image file of my blackberry 8330?i need it of the onboard memory and not the external memory card.
what I do I can't seem to be able to USB boot the minimal image of Ubuntu. No matter what program I use (Ubootnetin/Universal USB Installer/Etc) I always get a blank screen when selecting anything from the menu Install/Command-line Install)
Using Slackware 13.0. Have a Microdia web cam (60fc) and was (still am) looking for a simple free application to test it. Found a site which identified the drivers, modules, etc. needed so was checking my messages file and noticed that the Image Sensor HV7131R is not always identified as being detected when booting: kernel: usb 1-1.3: HV7131R image sensor detected Is this a problem or what?
I found modules videodev, V4L2, but could not find compat_ioctl32 and it is not listed in the modules loaded. Is this correct? Could not "find" it. I see usbcore listed during booting but does this mean it is a module? or a driver? or what? Also cannot find the an appropriate module that is for either ehci_hcd or uhci_hcd related as both of these appear in the messages. Also I see that the camera is for SN9C105 bridge and know that the "sn9c105" is supposed to be included in "sn9c102" module(?) but the SN9C105 camera notation does not always appear in messages. Is this correct? or (I think) I am confused by the numbering and cases used, i.e. what is a module (loadable?) a bridge and why change cases? Can someone straighten me out? Are all modules loaded listed by lsmod or just the loadable ones and usbcore etc. are "modules" loaded at another time?
I'm facing problem while making .iso from CD.I used the following commandmkisofs -o cdi.iso clusterwarewhere 'clustereware' is the content i need.Once done, checking this cdi.iso file noticed that certain file names are trimmed/corrupted like from .oui to _ouirunInstaller.sh to runInstalike this many file name changed.
I have an iso file that I want to mount. It turned out to contain only data so I need to make it into a working iso file using mkisofs. For some reason it was done in a couple of seconds while the file is more then 7Gb. The output is....nothing. I looked inside /media/isodrive and there is nothing there. The original img is suddenly only 363Mb :s.
This is the commandline I used: sven@sven-XPS-L501X:~/Desktop$ sudo mkisofs -o shaun.white.iso /media/isodrive/ [sudo] password for sven: I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) 2.69% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:42 2011 5.38% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:23 2011 8.06% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:17 2011 10.76% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:14 2011 13.44% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 16.13% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 18.82% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:15 2011 21.51% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:14 2011 24.19% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:13 2011 26.88% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 29.57% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 32.26% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 34.94% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:13 2011 37.63% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 40.32% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 43.01% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 45.69% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 48.39% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:13 2011 51.07% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 53.76% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 56.45% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 59.14% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 61.82% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 64.51% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 67.20% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 69.89% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 72.57% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 75.26% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 77.95% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 80.64% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 83.32% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 86.02% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 88.70% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 91.39% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:11 2011 94.08% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 96.77% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 99.45% done, estimate finish Fri Mar 4 19:04:12 2011 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 186021 extents written (363 MB)
I had no problems doing my video editing with my home videos whether they are dv or the mpeg4.avc hd format. I was able to use KDEdvdauthorwizard easily to make a burnable playable iso from my mpegs that I made from avidemux2. I upgraded many packages and since then I cannot make an iso that I can play at all.
Also, dvdstyler and qdvdauthor crash. KDEdvdauthorwizard says there is a problem with my transcode so will not make an iso anymore. I have tried many versions of transcode and none are accepted. Just a few weeks ago KDEdvdauthorwizard worked great for making my iso.
I decided to experiment with tovid and it makes a dvd that will not play in either of my dvdplayers. It plays poorly on the computer. I tried to make an iso out of my mpeg with mkisofs and that .iso will not open or play. I used mediainfo on the iso and this is what I got:
mediainfo output.iso General Complete name : output.iso Format : MPEG-PS
[code]....
My system is: dual core opteron 185 2.6ghz, 1000 gigs of hard drive, 3 gigs ram memory, onboard video nvidia hdtv capable. I can play hd movies just fine on my system. Movie editing is fast, too.
Since the yum repository for FC 6 is no longer available, I'm looking for a place to find the latest package of mkisofs that can be used on FC6. I could not find a decent place to download it from.
I have a problem with burning some disks. I believe the problem to be when the file sizes are large. using suse 11.3 x 64 and updates done. k3b version 2.0.1-1pm 2.7 burned normal dvd yesterday with3.5 Gb + 1.5Gb files. Tried burning to BD-R disk with 11.5 Gb file. I have burned blu ray disks before with my machine but used nero, I would prefer to use k3b as should do this. I get error of mkisofs crashed and following error log
I have an extracted ISO and I'd like to put the files back into an ISO in such a way that the menus are restored, like the orginal ISO. I am not having any luck with this though, currently the ISO does not play at all (usually gxine can open raw isos and run the menues as if it were put in the dvd drive).
I am in a situation to boot fedora 15 live cd in to command line mode, not graphical mode, for some testing purpose. how to change argument during booting mode
I want an image viewer to show the images in a directory in a random order. For that, I made the following script:
cd /home/DIRECTORY ls > files sort -R files cat files | gpicview
Everything looks fine, but gpicview doesn't open the images! I also tried it with pqiv but instead of just opening the images, it opens a dialog asking me which of the files I want to open.
i have been using this for a close to 2 years but have recently run into a problem where i am only getting part of the image. This is the first windows 7 64 bit machine that i have done it on so im not sure if that has to do with it.
the error im getting is dd: reading '/dev/sda' : input/output error
it is erroring out at the exact same point everytime i try it.
Is there a way/command to back up all data from a Red hat Linux 4 serve[Including user rpofiles, data, group info, encrypts] either to a Red hat Linux 5.4 machine or as an Image file or manageable resource?
