When booting from the boot floppy that comes with S.u.S.E. Linux or from CD1 after a short time the message
Loading initdisk.gz....Boot failedappears.
The standard boot images are assembled in the "compact
" format, so the booting process
itself can be done as fast as possible. With modern PC hardware this usually works flawlessly.
There is an alternative bootimage which was created without optimization (i.e. without "compact
");
You need the file "boot
" which can be found in the directory "/suse/images
" on the
first CD.
Use rawrite.exe
under DOS (CD 1, directory /dosutils/rawrite
) or dd
under
Unix/Linux to create a boot floppy from this file "boot
". See also the corresponding SDB article
below.
If you need PCMCIA support, try the Thinkpad image (CD 1, directory /disks/thinkpad
).
