Description of problem: mkbootdisk --iso fails, it tries to copy isolinux.bin from the old place (syslinux has changed). Additional info: Patch attached. Notes: rpmbuild --rebuild on http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/mkbootdisk/1.5.3/5.fc11/src/mkbootdisk-1.5.3-5.fc11.src.rpm fails (target arch:i586, default for the i386 F11), but if you make rpmbuild -tb on the source inside the SRPMS (mkbootdisk-1.5.3.tar.gz), it works (with the patch).
Created attachment 348016 [details] simple patch - location of isolinux.bin
As of today this bug is still open. Are there any chances to get this patch into the mainline repository? The latest stable version shipped with F11 is mkbootdisk-1.5.3-4.fc10.i386 dated Aug, 8th 2008. "mkbootdisk --device 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.iso --iso 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586" produces the following result: cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin': No such file or directory genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'isolinux/isolinux.bin' !
