CD with kernel 2.6.23 does not boot — at Version 4

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

Hello,

The boot CD of my Gen2VDR Distri does not boot with VB 1.5.2 on a Win2K Host. With vmware and "normal" PC's this iso boots as usual. The behaviour is very strange. VB starts booting from the iso image, but then it tries to boot from root /dev/hda ( which is not available ).

The bootable part is here: http://www.htpc-forum.de/gen2vdr/2.0/files/tst.iso

The bootup log is attached, tthe strange part is:

Hello, Absolutely great bugtracking system - I do net get an Email when someone answers my post - I do not find my bugs when search for bugs reported by me. Looks like wasted time to report here :( Anyway it happanes with all kernel parameters i tried. All of these are working fine when I boot from harddisk instead of a DVD image. You can take test it with the iso in the link shown above. And please send me an email, when you answer ( helmut attt helmutauer dotttt de ) Bye

P.S. Sorry for the hard words, but it made me sad to see that such a good software product like virtualbox is using a bad bugtracking system ...
