Well, I have some more information and I have narrowed down the scope a
bit. Of course, this may all be a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy,
but this is what I have deduced...
In the iso image, I have several directories, including RedHat/RPMS and
SRPMS.
The RedHat/RPMS contains the rpm files, and the SRPMS contains the
src.rpm files. When I remove the SRPMS directory, isolinux will boot.
If I remove the corresponding rpm file, I can put the src.rpm file in
the SRPMS directory and it will boot. It seems that isolinux-2.0x is
confused when I have an rpm file and it's src.rpm file. E.g., if I have
RedHat/RPMS/autofs-4.0.0pre10.9-1.i386.rpm and
SRPMS/autofs-4.0.0pre10.9-1.src.rpm, isolinux-2.00 will not boot.
When I mount the resultant iso image with -o loop,norock,nojoliet the
files look like this:
[root at blah temp]# la temp/redhat/rpms/autofs_4_0_0pre10_9_1_i386.rpm
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 69964 Apr 14 13:15
temp/redhat/rpms/autofs_4_0_0pre10_9_1_i386.rpm
[root at blah temp]# la temp/srpms/autofs_4_0_0pre10_9_1_src.rpm
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 95147 Apr 18 15:44
temp/srpms/autofs_4_0_0pre10_9_1_src.rpm
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Forrest
