Problem Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) and Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) use hardcoded temporary or log file names which are predictable or both. Any user or malicious entity could use these predictable file names to create links between the temporary and log files and system or user files, even without root access.When ASU and BoMC are used in the Linux operating system, the linking of these files causes the system and user files to be overwritten.If the system or user files are overwritten, the operatingsystem could become corrupted.

Mungkin ada yang berpendapat bahwa bootable merupakan flashdisk yang ada sistem operasi di dalamnya.Namun sebenarnya bootable merupakan media penyimpanan yang di dalamnya ada sistem operasi. Dengan kata lain, media penyimpanan yang bisa dijadikan bootable bukan hanya flashdisk. Banyak media penyimpanan lainnya yang bisa Anda jadikan bootable seperti yang sudah kami sebutkan sebelumnya.Kenapa Memiliki Nama Bootable?Lalu kenapa namanya bootable? Sebenarnya, setiap sistem operasi pasti melakukan boot pertama kali atau first boot dari media penyimpanan seperti harddisk, flashdisk, CD, DVD, dan lain-lain.Misalnya, pada saat Anda melakukan pengaturan pada BIOS ketika ingin melakukan instalasi sistem operasi melalui flashdisk, maka Anda harus mengubah media penyimpanan mana yang akan menjadi first boot dari perangkat Anda. Tentunya di sini Anda mengubah booting pertama kalinya di flashdisk. Sebenarnya selain digunakan untuk menginstall sistem operasi, ternyata bootable memiliki beberapa fungsi lainnya yaitu:Untuk pembersihan dataPemulihan dataTroubleshooting atau pemecahan masalah untuk hardware maupun softwareMelakukan software access alternatif untuk kasus hilangnya password dengan cara melakukan boot yang sesuia dengan sistem operasi yang digunakanDari namanya kami yakin Anda sudah bisa mengetahui bahwa Windows Bootable ISO Creator adalah aplikasi yang digunakan untuk membuat bootable.

IBM Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) is a nifty tool that will create a customized boot iso for installing drivers and firmware on your System x machines. You tell BoMC what hardware you are running and it goes out and downloads all the latest firmware, and then it wraps it up in an iso that you can boot from to update the hardware.If you’d like to create your BoMC iso using Ubuntu , you might’ve noticed that BoMC doesn’t support it.I’m on 10.04 and found that using the RHEL5 binary worked. At the time of writing, the name of the file is ibm_utl_bomc_3.00_rhel5_i386.bin . I tried the RHEL6 one first and it complained about a missing libssl library (libssl.so.10) so I would guess if you are on a newer version of Ubuntu, you should use this one instead.You might see this error when executing it, and it will cause the downloads to failCan't find OS info file!Simply execute this to create an Redhat release file at /etc/redhat-release , and this will make BoMC work.sudo echo "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.0 (Santiago)" > /etc/redhat-releaseThen simply execute it like this, put in your machine details, and out comes the iso:sudo ./ibm_utl_bomc_3.00_rhel5_i386.bin This entry was posted in howto, tip.
