Hi everyone, I've had a look through the archive and have spotted
another user who had a problem booting the .iso image of sentinix but
didn't see a solution. I thought I might raise the question/issue again.
 
I have now downloaded sentinix from three different mirrors each time
the .iso file I've downloaded has come down as exactly the same size and
has the same md5 hash. (MD5 (sentinix-0.70.5.iso) =
15265767531db906ada0a04123051363)
 
However each time I burn the .iso to a CD I am unable to boot the image
from the PC I wish to install it on. I can boot the image from my laptop
or any other system we have in the office but not the one I wish to
install it on. Was wondering if there is something weird about the .iso
file that perhaps looks for the CD drive being on the primary IDE
channel, and must be a slave etc... (Though I doubt this is the case..)
 
Is anyone else having the same problems?
 
As a process of elimination I've swapped out all the hard drives, and
used a few different CD drives in the system. (Samsung, ASUS, Diamond
(Mitsubishi)).
 
Cheers,
Francis McPhail
