Start with improving your reading skills and following forum rules and other instructions properly.

Bharath85, you can make ISO image with modified Grub and Yoda's boot loader in Windows. Just get suitable core.img something like this: Then convert core.img into SYS format and put SYS file (kernel.sys) in root directory of your image. If there will be a problem, I can make kernel.sys for you. Also put other data (iso9660.bin, boot/grub/grub.cfg, boot/grub/i386-pc) in root directory.

Now you can produce ISO image. For example: Grub 2 understands Joliet extension so you can use -J instead -R as well. Moreover if you will find such method that turns off file name restrictions you can make ISO image without Joliet/RR extensions. For example:

This version of xorriso is too old for grub-mkrescue.
Release 0.5.6 was the first one which is suitable.

Be invited to get the current release

http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xor ... 3.2.tar.gz

and do

tar xzf xorriso-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd xorriso-1.3.2
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
./xorriso/xorriso -version

The result may be installed in /usr/bin (make install)
or used where it emerged. According to

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... escue.html

the latter case would be

grub-mkrescue --xorriso=/...full.path.../xorriso-1.3.2/xorriso/xorriso -o myos.iso isodir


> UNIX-SIGNAL: SIGSEGV errno= 0

Ouch !

If this happens with xorriso-1.3.2, then please report it
as bug to [email protected] .


Have a nice day

For the records:

Bharath85 confirmed in a message of Oct 15 2013, that grub-mkrescue is working with the current release of xorriso.
