isolinux says "extremely broken BIOS"
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 1:03 pm
Hi group,
My first post here since I've recently discovered UBCD. Burned a CD with UBCD 5.0.3. So, I try to boot from it and it doesn't get anywhere but prints this kind of...messages...
Also tried booting another computer with the UBCD and it worked as expected.
Maybe I should post on the mailing list for Syslinux but I'll ask here first. So, any ideas?

Since my BIOS has been working fine and the box isn't too old I see no cause for such total failure. When I look at the webpage it mentions I get the impression that it suggests I have a BIOS which won't allow booting from CD but that is not the case, it allows booting from CD and USB etc.ISOLINUX 3.86 1010-04-01 ETCDisolinux: Loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it...
