Hi Kirk,
I tried to burn a DVD as you described. I also had to remove the service
pack CD 3 which contains only sources. Otherwise the ISO-File got too
big (ca. 5GB). I created the ISO-File with
mkisofs -V SLES9_SP2 -publisher "SUSE Linux AG" \
-r -J -l -L -iso-level 4 \
-b boot/loader/isolinux.bin \
-c boot/loader/boot.cat -no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
-graft-points \
-o ../sles9sp2-dvd.iso \
.
and burned it on DVD with
cdrecord-dvd dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 -eject -sao ../sles9sp2-dvd.iso
The DVD was bootable but when I select "Installation" from the GRUB menu
it asks after loading and booting the kernel:
Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive
[OK] [Back]
and when clicking [OK] it complains
Could not find the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 Installation CD.
Activating manual setup program.
When I give "install=dvd:///" as boot option it is the same. What did I
miss?
BTW: There is a bug in the GRUB options. Seems that they are limited to
only 256 characters total length. When we set up SUSE Linux with an
install server but don't want to use DHCP we need to give these options
hostip=192.168.5.168/24 gateway=192.168.5.253
autoyast=nfs://192.168.5.203/export/suse/autoyast/
install=nfs://192.168.5.203/export/suse/x86_64/sles9sp2/
Regards,
Bernd
