--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-cd Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I have two older computers with Intel D865GBFLK motherboards (~2003) and Pentium 4 HT CPU's. They both have the latest available BIOS installed. I would like to put Debian on them. I have downloaded: debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso When I put the ISO on a CD-R, it boots correctly. When I put the ISO on a USB flash drive and boot it: isolinux.bin missing or corrupt The same USB flash drive boots correctly in newer computers. Memtest86+ 5.01 on a USB flash drive boots correctly in the older computers. My conclusion is that the ISO is not compatible with the BIOS in the older computers.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 3:6.03+dfsg1-1 Hi, this problem was fixed in isolinux version 3:6.03+dfsg1-1. As of now, debian-cds are still affected, the progress for that is tracked separately in the original Bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/857597 I've cloned this bug to isolinux so fixed versions can be tracked. Thanks Lukas
