I have problems with some BIOSES that doesn't like boot files at random on the 
disk, they prfer the files is at TOP on the ISO Structure, it means if you 
do:
find compilation -maxdepth 1 -type d
you should see 1st your boot isolinux folder.
My Workaround is to make a new folder and start to move the folders to a new 
one, but in order of precedence. 1st isolinux one.

Then the new folder has at 1st place the boot folder and every BIOS is happy 
again. It happens more frecuently with DVDs than CDs, but I had to touch CD 
ISOS as well.
