Hi

Any idea how to boot this?

The ISO has the following file structure:

folder: boot (inside there is grub subfolder and boot.cat, rescue, system-map-rescue, rescue.igz

folder: rescue (inside is bases folder, etc)

the old method command: bootinfotable;run kav.bif not working..

Thanks

@EB1000

If its "freeware" you can perhaps put in a download link ???

If not - well is there some kind of text-file telling you what this is inside ISO?

If you can launch ISO from Virtual PC (or similar) you can most likely collect some information (what version etcetera).

It looks to be kaspersky ISO-file of some sort ???

If you have not tried this – do so:
Extract everything from ISO to EasyBoot\disk1
Use menu command:  bootinfotable;run kav.bif
Check “Joliet” when creating ISO and see what happens :)

Thanks for the quick reply. yes as the title indicates, it is the latest version of Kaspersky rescue disk ver 10. The old method works great on version 9, but not with version 10. the bif file extracted from version 9 is 12KB in size' while the bif file from the new version is 24KB in size. It is a freeware and can be downloaded directly from kaspersky site:

< http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuil...._10.iso >

The bases virus definitions are from 29 of April 2010.

I'd really appreciate if you could try to find out why isn't booting like the old version. The only difference is  the location of the "bases" dir, which was changed from root to the "rescue" dir...

Thanks

Hi EB,

Try this (but this is Grub4DOS *if you are interested in GRUB*):

you need to have Grub4DOS as bootloader.

Extract entire content of ISO and name it the folder kav_rescue_2010 put this folder into the CD/USB root.

now put the below script into menu.lst

title Launch Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2010\n Kaspersky Rescue disk updates till April-23-2010
kernel /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue subdir=/kav_rescue_2010
setkmap=us scandelay=5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs
loop=/kav_rescue_2010/image.squashfs cdroot
initrd  /kav_rescue_2010/boot/rescue.igz

done everythings works fine CD/DVD or USB, works on all.

I know allgames you are more interested into easyboot. The above thing is just for info incase.
