boot cd with grub.

[Sam111]

I am following the tutorial here http://wiki.osdev.org/Bootable_El-Torit ... RUB_Legacy

I am using K3B to do it. Added the boot image stage2_eltorito to it.
Copied my start.bin kernel. And have this

Code: Select all

default 0
#timeout 30
 
#title Boot from hard disk
#chainloader (hd0)+1
 
title My kernel
kernel /boot/start.bin    # Edit it to the filename of your kernel.

for my menu list

The menu.lst is in the same directory as the stage2_eltorito

directory structure for the cd filesystem looks like this
/stage2_eltorito
/menu.lst
/boot/start.bin


When I try to boot from cd I just get the cd displaying Loading stage2 ?
I just want a way to boot my start.bin easily. I haven't tried command line genisoimage but thru the K3B GUI I think it should work the same way?

Any help would be great.
The only thing I can think of is my kernel is not "A (Multiboot compliant) kernel that GRUB can boot." But I don't know what that even means for being on a cd?

Also I have tried switching my start.bin kernel for a known working kernel and still gives me the same message.... Stuck at Loading stage2????

Default path for grub files is /boot/grub. Try to put them in this directory.

I kinda find it astounding that Sam111 has almost 250 posts, and is still having trouble just booting his kernel.
Then again, I was like that too, once...
