Hello all,

I've been wanting to create a bootable disk (based on rhel4) for Itanium
machines. The command that I use to create ISO images currently is
something like this:

`mkisofs  -J -r  -T -v  -pad -b images/boot.img  -c boot.catalog
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 1  -o <output-file> <input-directory> '

Somehow, this command does not seem to do the job. I wonder if I am
missing out on some step (or a commandline option), as I've even tried th=
e
"boot.img" file from Redhat and it fails to boot as well.

Has anyone tried this before? I'd be glad to if someone throws some light
on this.

TIA,
harsha
