Hi

I tried building Mandrake 9.2 DVD (combine files from iso images and so on).
Then I tried to boot it in MS Virtual PC 2004 and it didn't work. After a
while of expirementing I found out that no images work.

Attached is sample cd image. (Made with Nero 6.3).
I wonder is the problem in Nero, Virtual PC or in syslinux?

isolinux-debug.bin gives following messages:

I haven't tried this with real computer.
