I regularily boot Tinycore on three computers from cdroms. Using Version 3.6 and 3.8.4, I recieve a number of error messages at boot time, relating to HDC, and a resulting increase in boot times. Following the messages Tinycore boots successfully. I do not get these messages and delays when using version 3.3. The messages I get are similar to those reported by other users in these forums.
I tried reburning a new iso at slower speeds as suggested in the forums., I also tried various boot codes, as suggested like ...ide-core.nodma...all with no success. The cdrs where all burned, in winxp, using ..CDBurnerXp, version 3.0.116.
Finally I tried burning the iso using ....cdrecord.... in tinycore... as suggested in the forums. and SUCCESS...no more error messages during boot.
I used the following command to burn the iso:
cdrecord dev=ATA:1001,0,0 speed=10 padsize=63s -pad -dao -v -eject /home/tc/tinycore-current.iso
This suggests several questions:
1. Did the other users who got the error messages,also burn their cdr in windows? If so what program did they use to burn the iso?
2. Are there users who do not get the error messages, who burned their cdr in windows? If so what program did they use?
3. Was there a change in the tinycore boot process after version 3.3 that might explain why these error messages happen?
4. I tried looking at the two CDR's, the one that works and the one that does not, and can not see a difference...What am I missing?..What does cdrecord do the CDBurnerXp does not???
