[syslinux] Failure with 1st isolinux attempt

[Dermot Bradley]

Folks

I've just tried booting the 1st Linux CD I've made using Isolinux and it
fails. At boot time I see:

  Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:
   No Emulation

  ISOLINUX 1.67 2002-02-03  Copyright (C) 1994-2001 H. Peter Anvin
  boot:
  Could not find kernel image: /isolinux

The cdimage was made using the command:

  mkisofs -v -o austin.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat
  -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /lfs/

where /lfs/ contains a Linux-From-Scratch-based system. The CD was burnt
from the image just using "cdrecord -v dev=0,3,0 -eject austin.iso".

The /lfs/isolinux directory contains 3 files: isolinux.bin,
isolinux.cfg, and lfskernel.

The isolinux.cfg contains:

  DEFAULT linux auto

  LABEL linux
    KERNEL /isolinux/lfskernel
    APPEND "root=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"

Anyone got any suggestions?
