Hi I have downloaded the latest version of bootcd and run :
linux:/etc/bootcd# bootcdwrite
To see full output: tail -f /var/log/bootcdwrite.log
--- Cleanup ---
/var/spool/bootcd/cdimage.iso will be created !
/var will be cleaned (apt-get clean) !
Ok to continue? (y/n) y
--- Checking for possible Problems ---
--- WARNING ---
Could not calculate Kernelconfig to make further checks.
If you install a kernel from a .deb package the kernel will be named
/boot/vmlinuz<version> and there will be a kernel config file named
/boot/config<version>. Bootcdwrite could not find the config file and
therefore no further kernel checks could be done. This is not critical
but you could build your kernel with make-kpkg to solve the problem.
Please read the FAQ to check if you have build erverything necessary in
your kernel.

What does the above Warning "Could not calculate Kernelconfig..." mean?

Yes I cannot use the fresh written bootcd because of the error above.

Why do you want to use an earlier version of bootcd?

So to make things clear: You cannot use the fresh written bootcd because
the {DriveReady SeekComplete Error} comes all the time?
Before you waste your time try another cdrom drive. Maybe it's
non-functional.

With bootcd ;-). To use the flashy new version you can download the debs
at [1]. If you want to use a kernel image with an initrd you also have
to download [2].
So long
