"cobbler buildiso" recently failed for me because it couldn't find
/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin. Remembering that RPMforge had recently
released an updated version of the syslinux package, it was easy to find
out that the new syslinux 3.7 package moves isolinux.bin from
/usr/lib/syslinux to /usr/share/syslinux.
I've created a simple patch that looks for isolinux.bin in both
locations and throws a more generic error if it can't find either of
them. This patch is against the master branch.
Also, while building to test this patch, I noticed that the master
branch version had been incremented to 1.0.4, but the cobbler.spec file
hadn't been updated. I've also attached the patch to fix that - even
though it's probably easier for you to just edit your copy of the file :)
Thanks!
