   ### problem
   
   On RHEL 9.6 we are having the same issues described here: 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/discussions/10864
   
   According to 
[this](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/b46e29dc677c0fcdc62768d53f02cc6854f0cea8/engine/storage/configdrive/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/configdrive/ConfigDriveBuilder.java#L214),
 the host needs to have one of the following `/usr/bin/genisoimage, 
/usr/bin/mkisofs, /usr/local/bin/mkisofs` the first two are present in RHEL 9.6 
but ultimately, as symlinks to `xorriso`, See:
   
   genisoimage:
   
   
   ```
   # ls -lat /usr/bin/genisoimage
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Sep 12 09:26 /usr/bin/genisoimage -> 
/etc/alternatives/mkisofs-genisoimage
   # ls -lat  /etc/alternatives/mkisofs-genisoimage
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Aug  7 14:55 
/etc/alternatives/mkisofs-genisoimage -> /usr/bin/xorrisofs
   # ls -lat  /usr/bin/xorrisofs
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jan 15  2025 /usr/bin/xorrisofs -> xorriso
   ```
   
   mkisofs:
   
   ```
   # ls -lat /usr/bin/mkisofs
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Aug  7 14:55 /usr/bin/mkisofs -> 
/etc/alternatives/mkisofs
   # ls -lat /etc/alternatives/mkisofs
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Aug  7 14:55 /etc/alternatives/mkisofs -> 
/usr/bin/xorrisofs
   # ls -lat  /usr/bin/xorrisofs
   lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Jan 15  2025 /usr/bin/xorrisofs -> xorriso
   ```
   
   ```
   #update-alternatives --display mkisofs
   mkisofs - status is auto.
    link currently points to /usr/bin/xorrisofs
   /usr/bin/xorrisofs - priority 50
    follower mkisofs-genisoimage: /usr/bin/xorrisofs
    follower mkisofs-genisoimageman: /usr/share/man/man1/xorrisofs.1.gz
    follower mkisofs-mkisofsman: /usr/share/man/man1/xorrisofs.1.gz
   Current `best' version is /usr/bin/xorrisofs.
   ```
    
   if I rename those two binaries I get the error: "Cannot create iso for 
config drive using any know tool. Known paths [/usr/bin/genisoimage, 
/usr/bin/mkisofs, /usr/local/bin/mkisofs]" (as per code above). Meaning the 
check is done correctly.
    
   I also tested manually to create an iso with genisoimage using the flags 
CloudStack wants to use and that works (to prove that `genisoimage` actually 
works)
   
   `/usr/bin/genisoimage   -o /tmp/configdrive-test.iso   -ldots 
-allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -cache-inodes -l -quiet -J -r   -V config-2 
/tmp/configdrive-test`
   
   I am not a programmer, but it seems that the 
[this](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/46e29dc677c0fcdc62768d53f02cc6854f0cea8/engine/storage/configdrive/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/configdrive/ConfigDriveBuilder.java#L234)
 is returning `/usr/bin/xorriso` which does not support directly the `mkisofs` 
style flags, one needs to pass the `mkisofs` flags like so: `xorriso -as 
mkisofs`.
   
   ### versions
   
   CloudStack 4.20.1 on KVM
   
   ### The steps to reproduce the bug
   
   See above
   
   
   ### What to do about it?
   
   Perhaps improve the code how the iso generation too is detected?
