Error when booting from cdrom. This is a mesage during bootup.

Now after we create a bootable cdrom, we try booting from a pc with it.
Jnode appears from grub menu (grand universal boot loader).
boot menu:

error on starting org.jnode.fs.intrd

Note that my ide drives are NTFS not FAT.
Someone is writing an ntfs driver (announcemnets).
This may be the problem to my most recent post.

NTFS is still in beta phase

Hi, I wrote the NTFS driver..it still has problems but it should work. I tested it with some windpows XP partitions without any problems. The problem is that NTFS is not documented so I wrote it after some papers writen for the linux driver.

Options for obtaining a no-error boot?

Ok, what options do I have, since I am using IDE with all NFTS?
Basically, I want a clean boot, no errors. I suppose I could try someone else's pc, that uses only ide with FAT.
