error: read out of range when booting from .iso file

Hi,

The last Rolling core64 ISO (20200329) return the error message

[c]

error: read out of range

press any key to continue

[/c]

when trying to boot from the .iso file.

I can't say if the problem existed with the previous ISOs; I didn't boot in this way since september.

I reloaded the ISO but the problem remains.

My entry in grub.cfg:

[c]

menuentry "SliTaz Rolling core64 - LiveISO (kernel 3.16.55)" {

   loopback taziso (hd0,4)/slitaz/64bit/slitaz-rolling-core64.iso

   linux (taziso)/boot/bzImage64 rw root=/dev/null video=-32 kmap=fr-latin1

   initrd (taziso)/boot/rootfs.gz

}

[/c]

No problem when booting in frugal mode with the rootfs.gz and bzImage64 extracted from the ISO.

Re: error: read out of range when booting from .iso file

Booting from slitaz-rolling-core64.iso with grub2 works on my biostar A780L3G

tux@slitaz:/media/crux/boot/iso$ md5sum -c slitaz-rolling-core64.md5

slitaz-rolling-core64.iso: OK

tux@slitaz:/media/crux/boot/iso$ cat slitaz-rolling-core64.md5

[c]menuentry "SliTaz Rolling Core64" {[/c]

[c]loopback loop /boot/iso/slitaz-rolling-core64.iso[/c]

[c]linux (loop)/boot/bzImage64 root=/dev/null autologin[/c]

[c]initrd (loop)/boot/rootfs.gz[/c]

Re: error: read out of range when booting from .iso file

Hello mojo,

Thanks for testing.

Weird... I tried rolling and rolling-core ISO from 20200329; both work.

I tried too rolling-core64 from 20200322; works too.

It's not really a problem as it works in frugal. I'll test the next build.

Note the error message appears just after I hit the F10 key (boot after editing an entry); it seems in my case the problem is with the kernel.

Forget it.

I just changed my linux line as this:

[c]linux (taziso)/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz64 rw root=/dev/null video=-32 kmap=fr-latin1[/c]

and the problem is exactly the same. And if Ihit a key or let the system to continue, it starts to boot and ends in a kernel panic.

No matter, I'll see next week.

Re: error: read out of range when booting from .iso file

ISO 200405 solved the problem

EDIT: Well, in fact this is a randomly problem when ISOs are stored on a NTFS partition; copying them in an other directory can solve the issue for some but create it for others... Downloading ISOs on an ext2/3/4 partition never fails
