I am trying to build a live fs on a CD that is selfbooting that later installs 
a pre-configured linux (this is acctually an upgrade, I have already done it 
before  with 1.67).

Anyway, I can't get it to work this time. All I see is

- -----8<------
Cannot load disk image (invalid file)?
- -----8<------

My isolinux/isolinux.cfg file:

- -----8<------
DEFAULT t
#TIMEOUT 500
DISPLAY about.txt
F1 help.txt

LABEL t
KERNEL kernel.img
APPEND ide0=dma,ata100 ide1=dma,ata100 ramdisk_size=65536 
root=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 init=/linux_installer ro

LABEL s
KERNEL kernel.img
APPEND console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 ide0=dma,ata100 ide1=dma,ata100 
ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 init=/linux_installer ro
SERIAL 0 9600
- -----8<------

My ISO building parameters

- -----8<------
cd cdrom_fs &&
mkisofs -o $BUILDROOT/cdrom.iso \
	-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
	-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
	-P "SecureCiRT, info at securecirt.com" \
	-p "Michael Boman, michael.boman at securecirt.com" \
	-R .

This is how the cdrom_fs structure looks like

and 'file kernel.img' tells me:

- -----8<------
kernel.img: Linux/i386 Kernel, Setup Version 0x203, bzImage
- -----8<------

Using the isolinux-debug.bin didn't get me any smarter either, mostly because 
I acctully get to the isolinux part..

Any suggestions?

Best regards
 Michael Boman

PS
  Tried 1.67, that worked for the earlier version, but it also barfs just like 
2.00 with this setup.
