Hello Matthijs,

Firstly, sorry for the late reply. It has been quite a busy week for
me. I admit I didn't test my code on a ISOLINUX image, as I thought
there would be no differences. It turns out there actually are some
differences :) I will investigate the problem these days and I will
show you here my findings.

Cheers,
Stefan
