I tested the 3.10 preX releases. pre18 worked fine. Pre-19 and Pre-20
would not load the bootmsg text, and hung at the line with isolinux version
3.10, etc. I assume this was an unrelated bug. Pre21 loaded the bootmsg
text just fine, but the cdrom binary caused 1 of 3 things to happen. 1: it
would restart the machine when that option was selected 2: it would perform
a carriage return, type one period and instead of booting it would hang, or
3: it would show 8-or-so characters of gibberish and halt.
I hope this helps.
