Description bug 2009-06-15 21:36:15 UTC
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).

Comment 2 Roland Wintgen 2009-09-30 09:33:32 UTC
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' !
