I have downloaded some
ISO
file for linux (actually from here: http://minimal.linux-bg.org/download/2018/)
The I have configured it with PXE:
LABEL minimallinux
MENU LABEL Minimal Linux
KERNEL vmlinuz
INITRD /iso/minimal_linux_live_28-Jan-2018_64-bit_bios.iso
APPEND iso raw
and got hang or kernel panic.
I was able to boot a lot of ISO-s this way. And I see on booting computer that kernel is downloaded ok, ISO is downloaded and pritouts starting.
Should I be able to boot any ISO
this way? If not, then what are requirements for it?
What are "bios", "uefi" and "mixed" types? Isn't ISO just a container of files, which are mounted as r/o filesystem? How it can depend on it?
***
I was able to boot with
KERNEL memdisk
where memdisk
is a binary from syslinux
package. What did I do? Where is Linux kernel then? Was it booted from inside ISO
on later stages or it memdisk
is a kernel?
