[syslinux] isolinux & vesamenu32

[Ryan McLean]

Just a follow up..

Went back to basics with isolinux using the following isolinux.cfg file:

------------------------
# Prompt user for selection
PROMPT 1

#
# Blank boots
#
LABEL linux-es38
        KERNEL vmlinuz
        APPEND initrd=initrd.img 
 
LABEL linux-ws38
        KERNEL vmlinuz-rhws38-x86
        APPEND initrd=initrd-rhws38-x86.img 

#
# All Builds
#
LABEL esv3u8
        KERNEL vmlinuz
        APPEND initrd=initrd.img ks=http://kickstart/rhes/38.cfg
 
LABEL wsv3u8
        KERNEL vmlinuz-rhws38-x86
        APPEND initrd=initrd-rhws38-x86.img 
ks=http://kickstart/rhws/38.cfg
------------------------

and found the following:

1. If the kernel image has a name other than vmlinuz it cannot be found 
2. if initrd has a name other than initrd.img or initrd it cannot be 
found.

i have tried this with isolinux v3.30, v3.31p3, v3.31p4, v3.31, v3.32p1

all seem to fall over on this.. 

Is this  a bug or a limitation of isolinux?
