Hi, > I got an "Invalid or corrupt kernel" message, but I don't understand why.
The ISOLINUX boot image /isolinux/isolinux.bin contains a text: "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." If that appears then initial booting from the ISO image worked. But obviously the booted loader cannot go on with booting the desired operating system. So the problem is not about the way how the ISO image was made bootable by mkisofs, genisoimage or xorriso. It is rather about the operating system files which are stored in the directory tree which you extracted from the ISO image. > Seems like that there has something changed with Squeeze? The amd64 netinstall image got packed up by xorriso rather than genisoimage. During the transition there were problems reported about bsdtar and xorriso images. But we solved them, afaik. (Debian Bugs 610781 610783) Maybe it helps if you replace bsdtar -C ~/netinstaller6/cd -xf ~/netinstaller/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso by cd ~/netinstaller6 mkdir cd su mount -o loop ./debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso ./cd (and later umount ./cd when you are done) If there is a difference in success, then one should compare the mounted ISO image tree with the file tree extracted by bsdtar. In that case the problem has to be diagnosed by the developers of libarchive and me, as developer of xorriso.
