<pre>I suspect there is something broken with the binaries from LX3's
syslinux-6.03-2-omv2015.0.x86_64.
A bootable image gets stuck on the message
<span class="quote">>ISOLINUX 6.03 OpenMandriva Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al"</span >
Using isolinux-debug.bin instead of isolinux.bin it prints the following:
<span class="quote">> ISOLINUX 6.03 OpenMandriva Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
> isolinux: Starting up, DL = E0
> isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = E0
> isolinux: Main image LBA = 00000026
> isolinux: Image read, jumping to main code...</span >
If I use binaries from omv 2014 syslinux-4.06-6-omv2014.0.x86_64 and keep
everything else the same, the image boots normally. I have also tried using the
isolinux binaries from Fedora 25's syslinux-6.04-0.1.fc25.x86_64 and had no
problems, so that's why I thought something could be broken in this version of
the package.
Below is a sequence of steps to create a dummy image and reproduce (or not) the
issue:
```
mkdir -p live/boot/isolinux
echo -e "DEFAULT vesamenu.c32\nTIMEOUT 50\nPROMPT 0\n\nLABEL test\n MENU
LABEL \"Hello world\"" > live/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/{vesamenu.c32,isolinux.bin} live/boot/isolinux/
cd live/; sudo mkisofs -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V 'test' -cache-inodes -R -J
-o ../test.iso .; cd -
```
I've tested the image on kvm and also real hardware. Of course you need to use
isohybrid if you want to test this with a USB drive.
Like I said, repeating the same steps but taking the files from omv 2014
instead of lx3-syslinux results on a working image.
Please let me know if you can reproduce this problem or if there is something I
can do to output more error messages. Thanks.</pre>
