Other Help Topics :: 0.5 Version does not seem bootable

0.4.11 works fine, but 05 doesn't get picked up as bootable, I've double checked the MD5 and it was fine, but nothing, it doesn't get pickied up at all ...

I look at the ISO and it doesn't look bootable.

Any ideas ?

check the md5sum value of the CD itself to see if the burn went ok.

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#rawread
device=$1

blocksize=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Logical block size is:" | cut -d " " -f 5`
if test "$blocksize" = ""; then
echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blocksize >&2
exit
fi

blockcount=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Volume size is:" | cut -d " " -f 4`
if test "$blockcount" = ""; then
echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blockcount >&2
exit
fi

command="dd if=$device bs=$blocksize count=$blockcount conv=notrunc,noerror"
echo "$command" >&2
$command

./rawread /dev/cdrom | md5sum

Did you download the corrupted version of 0.5 or did you see the note on the download page that points to the good version. Try here:
