Package: genisoimage Version: 9:1.1.6-1 Severity: normal >From what I could research (the spec is not clear when you first read it), invalid ElTorito sections are created when you use -eltorito-alt-boot.
genisoimage just appends entries after de default entry, but from what I understood, you need to add at least one section header after the default entry. If that's not done, the bios has no way of knowing the platformid nor the id string of the boot image (parameters which cannot be set from genisoimage nowadays). This is what genisoimage does now (hex dump of the boot catalog, for 5 boot images): 00011000 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 aa 55 55 aa 00011020 88 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 f6 0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011040 88 00 00 00 00 00 04 10 23 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011060 88 02 00 00 00 00 01 00 24 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011070 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011080 00 02 00 00 00 00 01 00 24 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00011090 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 000110a0 88 00 00 00 00 00 04 10 f4 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 000110b0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 This tutorial, albeit basic, sheds some light: http://lich.phys.spbu.ru/kab00m/projects/cdboot.eng.html -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (901, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages genisoimage depends on: ii libc6 2.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libmagic1 4.21-2 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime genisoimage recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
