You need to patch it. See http://www.911cd.net/forums/lofiversion/in...php/t19643.html

I got that when I had some configuration typos, and also when I had a corrupted splash image. Double-check your menu.lst for any mistakes and try booting it without the splash image.

Well, I cheated and copied the files off the BT3 CD I already had burned... I'll try downloading a new ISO and verifying it's not corrupt.

Hm, that's what I have in my menu file (with a different boot directory) and Grub opens it fine, but before anything happens I just get a black screen.

What grub settings did you use for BT3? The ones from BT4b that Darren posted aren't working for my BT3 (see above).

Alright, I just set this up and I'm having a few issues I'm wondering if anyone else has come across. I'm experimenting with it but in the meantime I'd appreciate any input :) Firstly, I tried to install: BackTrack 3 Kon-Boot Hiren's BootCD ntpasswd DBAN FreeDOS Memtest86 This is my menu.lst: color red/black black/red timeout 120 title BackTrack 3 root (hd0,0) kernel /bootbt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd=/bootbt3/initrd.gz boot title Kon-Boot map --mem /FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) title Hiren's BootCD find --set-root /hirens/HBCD/boot.gz map --mem /hirens/HBCD/boot.gz (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) map --floppies=1 boot title Offline NT Passwd Reset kernel /ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /ntpasswd/scsi.cgz initrd /ntpasswd/initrd.cgz title DBAN kernel /memdisk initrd /dban.img title FreeDOS root (hd0,2) kernel /memdisk initrd /freedos.img floppy title Memtest86 kernel /memtest/ISOLINUX/MEMTEST And this is my folder structure for the USB drive: +---bootbt3 ¦ +---dos ¦ +---isolinux ¦ +---syslinux +---BT3 ¦ +---base ¦ +---modules ¦ +---optional ¦ +---rootcopy ¦ +---tools ¦ +---WIN +---ntpasswd +---memtest ¦ +---ISOLINUX +---hirens +---HBCD +---Vdefs +---WinTools +---files In that root drive folder I have: grldr menu.lst memdisk FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img dban.img freedos.img Now I'm having the following issues: ntpasswd - No disk drivers found (boots okay, program doesn't work) FreeDOS - Grub error: Partition not found Hiren's - "Cannot find HBCD folder" error when I try to start any app (boots okay) BackTrack 3 - Grub loads it okay, but it's just a black screen

I came here to recommend the same. Especially on a high-profile site such as this. Since I had a shared host that got exploited on someone else's site, I closed my account (when they refused to investigate) and got a VPS account. Now I can lock down the server, pull all the crap I never use out of Apache, monitor the server, and most importantly I know exactly what scripts are running on the server. To the Hak5 team, sorry about your server! Hope all is well, you've had some pretty shitty luck this week :)
