Hi Gene,
i am doing this successfull for PXE-boot and USB-boot (kernel memdisk, 
append iso, initrd my.iso) but i did(!) not get it done with isolinux.

But I found the solution: my original filename was 
3x41061_saCD_H_v130331.iso, which will boot by PXE and USB, but not by 
isolinux, renaming to test.iso did the trick.

bye
Christoph
