Description Joachim Frieben 2006-06-03 09:48:14 UTC
Description of problem:
The creation of a "boot.iso" image from the "isolinux" file for current
"rawhide" fails. The command used herefore was:

  "mkisofs -R -J -T -v -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
   -V "FC devel 2006-06-01" -b ./isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
   ./isolinux/boot.cat -o ../boot.iso ."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cdrtools-2.01.01.0.a09-1

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download "isolinux" directory.
2. Try to create "ISO" image.
  
Actual results:
Creation fails issuing the following error messages:

INFO:   UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.
        Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
        use -input-charset to override.

mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image './isolinux/isolinux.bin' !

Expected results:
A bootable "ISO" image file "boot.iso" should have been created.

Additional info:
The boot image was finally successfully created under FC2 with exactly
the same files and usinf the same commands.
Even creating a simple data disk image supposed to contain the files
in "isolinux" fails in the same way.
