/dev/sda is actually in the isolinux.cfg file on the gparted LiveCD, so I left it alone. However, your mention of SCSI/SATA/USB made a light go on in my head. Changeing /dev/sda to dev/cda, and that seems better.

So, I started putting together a multi-boot disc using isolinux, but I get the same error message. Here's what I have for a directory structure: Directory of C:\aio-dvd2 06/18/2007 04:01 PM <DIR> . 06/18/2007 04:01 PM <DIR> .. 06/18/2007 04:01 PM <DIR> boot 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> gparted 0 File(s) 0 bytes Directory of C:\aio-dvd2\boot 06/18/2007 04:01 PM <DIR> . 06/18/2007 04:01 PM <DIR> .. 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> gparted 06/18/2007 04:26 PM <DIR> isolinux 0 File(s) 0 bytes Directory of C:\aio-dvd2\boot\gparted 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> . 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> .. 05/02/2007 03:31 AM 3,044,400 gparted 05/18/2007 01:40 AM 3,342,147 gparted.igz 2 File(s) 6,386,547 bytes Directory of C:\aio-dvd2\boot\isolinux 06/18/2007 04:26 PM <DIR> . 06/18/2007 04:26 PM <DIR> .. 06/10/2007 03:52 PM 3,592 chain.c32 06/18/2007 04:27 PM 11,603 isolinux.bin 06/18/2007 04:24 PM 1,119 isolinux.cfg 06/10/2007 03:51 PM 20,056 memdisk 06/18/2007 04:26 PM 112,469 splash.png 06/10/2007 03:52 PM 120,676 vesamenu.c32 6 File(s) 269,515 bytes Directory of C:\aio-dvd2\gparted 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> . 06/18/2007 04:03 PM <DIR> .. 05/18/2007 02:24 AM 43,663,360 gparted.dat 1 File(s) 43,663,360 bytes And here's what's in my isolinux.cfg at the moment: DEFAULT /boot/isolinux/vesamenu.c32 PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 300 TOTALTIMEOUT 450 #### MENU BACKGROUND /boot/isolinux/splash.png MENU TITLE Super-Disc ** 09Mar07 Edition #### #### The 1st byte of the fgnd color is brightness. #### blue MENU COLOR title 1;36;44 #ff0000ff #00000000 std #### blue MENU COLOR unsel 37;44 #ff0000ff #00000000 std #### white MENU COLOR sel 7;37;40 #c0ffffff #ff000000 std #### red MENU COLOR hotkey 1;37;44 #ffff0000 #00000000 std #### green MENU COLOR hotsel 1;7;37;40 #ff00ff00 #ff000000 all #### LABEL gparted MENU label ^1 gParted MENU DEFAULT KERNEL /boot/gparted/gparted APPEND initrd=/boot/gparted/gparted.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc vga=788 looptype=squashfs loop=/gparted/gparted.dat splash=silent nosound cdroot=/dev/sda LABEL memtest86 MENU LABEL ^Memtest86 (RAM Diagnostic) KERNEL /boot/isolinux/memtest86 But I get the same behavior: Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using the current (0.3.4.7) release - I'll give 0.3.4.6 a go and see if it behaves any differently. So far, I'm just testing it in Virtual PC - the gparted ISO seems to work just fine on its own, so it has to be a configuration problem, I would think. Playsafe: I based what I have off of this tutorial - as far as Ghost goes, I just made a Ghost boot floppy with the tool that ships with Ghost and converted it to an IMG file using RawWrite - I call it using memdisk. Gparted...well...I'm still working on that.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get GParted in there? I have it booting, but it fails after the keyboard mapping with a "determining root device" error...

I just got it working this morning,and it was easier than I thought: Assuming that your root build directory for your DVD is c:\aio-dvd 1) Extract the contents of the ISO into c:\aio-dvd\g4l\ 2) Add the following command into your cdshell.ini (modify to reflect whatever keystroke you want): if $lastkey == key[4]; then isolinux /g4l/bzImage6 initrd=/g4l/ramdisk.gz ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram0 You don't get all the boot options - that just boots the default, but you could make a sub-menu for the other options if you really wanted to.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. It's strange, because I also set the tree and server in the unattend.txt, but for some reason those settings don't stick upon reboot. The registry tweak works for me, though.

Are you attempting to join a domain during the GUI portion of the setup? I install the Novell Client through SVCPACK, myself. I made a custom answer file via ACU (the client is pushed from svcpack.inf using a self-extracting RAR archive with "acu.exe /D:no /U:unattend.txt" as the command line), and then import a couple of registry tweaks via cmdlines.txt. Granted, we're running an older version of Novell, but here's what I have: unattend.txt: [Novell_Client_Install_Manager] Novell_Client=2000/XP [SetupNWInstallOptions] !DisplayInitialScreen=NO !Reboot_Or_Ask=Neither !SkipAutoReboot=YES !InstallNMAS=NO !InstallNICI=NO [NovellNetWareClientParameters] !AcceptLicenseAgreement=YES !Protocol=IPX !Remove_IPX=NO !DoInstall=YES !Preferred_Server="<your server>" !Preferred_Server_Distribute=Always !Preferred_Tree="<your tree>" !Preferred_Tree_Distribute=Always !Tree_List_Distribute=Never !Default_Context_List_Distribute=Never !Product_Name="Novell Client for Windows 4.91 SP1" !Product_Name_Distribute=Always !Default_Policy_Support=NO !Default_Policy_Support_Distribute=Always !Policy_Path="WS\system32" !Policy_Path_Distribute=Always !Show_Location_List=NO !Show_Location_List_Distribute=Always !Workstation_Only_Default=YES !Workstation_Only_Default_Distribute=Always !Preferred_Network_Protocol=IPX !Preferred_Network_Protocol_Distribute=Always !IPX_Bindery=ON !IPX_NDS=ON !IPX_SAP=ON !IPX_Naming_Distribute=Always !Enable_Scheduler_Icon=OFF !Enable_Scheduler_Icon_Distribute=Always !ServiceInstances_Distribute=Always [NDPSParameters] !DoInstall=NO [NovellNetwareLocationProfiles] !Profile_List1=Default !Profile_List_Distribute=Replace !ProfilesListSZ0="Default","Default" !ProfilesCount=1 !LoginServiceDWOn0="Default","Save On Exit" !LoginServiceSZ0="Default\Tab1","Tab","NDS" !LoginServiceSZ1="Default\Tab2","Tab","Script" !LoginServiceDWOn1="Default\Tab2","Login Script" !LoginServiceDWOn2="Default\Tab2","Display Results" !LoginServiceDWOn3="Default\Tab2","Close Results" !LoginServiceSZ2="Default\Tab3","Tab","NT Credentials" !LoginServiceSZ3="Default\Tab3","DefaultUserName","user" !LoginServiceDWOff0="Default\Tab4","Enable RAS" !LoginServiceSZ4="Default\Tab4","Tab","Dialup" !LoginServiceCount=5,4,1 [] ="E:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\Netware.491sp1" _Distribute=Always [Network_2000] Install2000Services=Services2000List [Services2000List] NW_NWFS=NovellNetwareClientParameters, \$OEM$\NET\NTCLIENT\I386 NW_NDPS=NDPSParameters, \$OEM$\NET\NTCLIENT\I386 netware.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\Default\Tab1] "Tab"="NDS" "Context"="<your context>" "Server"="<your server>" "Tree"="<your tree>" ; This key pushes the Novell login credentials to Active Directory, so that users don't have to log in twice.

Good news. Until the hotfix is available, I've just moved IE7 down to the bottom of my RunOnceEx.cmd file with the /forcereboot switch, so that the other stuff I want to install via RunOnceEx installs properly. After IE7 installs, the system gets rebooted, but there are no more RunOnceEx things for the new dll to mess up.

I'm pretty sure that IE7 creates RunOnceEx entries of its own. When I updated my PC, I got a window that looked like the RunOnceEx output the first time I rebooted it. I should verify that on a virtual machine and see if that really is the case...

Howdy! I've successfully built an All-In-One DVD based on this tutorial, and all works as expected. But I would also like to add the RescueMe CD, and I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that. If anybody could give me some tips or pointers (or better yet, instructions), I'd appreciate it. I've built the ISO for it, and it works great - I'd just like to incorporate it into my AIO-DVD, so it's one less thing to carry around. Thanks in advance!
