[QUOTE="testsubjectalpha, post: 1006978, member: 1610"] Vishal, typing "install" at the "boot: " prompt gives an error ("could not find kernel image: install") to the default one. After mounting the ISO (first in Windows, then inside an Ubuntu VM), I looked inside its "isolinux" directory. Despite being the same size (366 bytes), my ISO's isolinux.cfg file is empty. This file, seen on one of the mirrors, contains the following text: [INDENT]default linux prompt 1 timeout 600 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks initrd=initrd.img label local localboot 1 label memtest86 kernel memtest append - [/INDENT] Update: I typed "vmlinuz" (as the isolinux.cfg on the mirror suggested), and a kernel began initializing! Unfortunately, a kernel panic is reported after a few seconds: "unable to mount root fs on unknown block...." ISO mili bhi toh gadbad! I'll try to replace the contents of /isolinux and then report back to you all. [/QUOTE]
