I have tried to use isolinux 2.05, and I am running into a problem where it
will not boot. I have previously used version 1.66, and the older version
works just fine. Changing nothing except dropping the new version in does
not work.
Below is all of the relevant info, I believe. This occurs on multiple
machines with different BIOS. I am currently in process of doing a binary
search to find the last working version.
Using isolinux-debug.bin, and I get the following output:
ISOLINUX 2.05 2003-07-16 Copyright (C) 1994-2003 H. Peter Anvin
isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82
isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82
isolinux: Loading main image from LBA = 0000A574
isolinux: Sectors to load = 0004
isolinux: Main image read, jumping to main code...
isolinux: Root directory at LBA = 00000031
The mkisofs command that I use to create the ISO is:
mkisofs -o $NAME \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.catalog \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-pad -r -J -hide-joliet-trans-tbl \

-V "SA-BUILD-${BUILD}-CUSTOM-${CUST_BUILD_NO}" \

The isolinux.cfg file looks like this:
default quiet
