Hi, > i wondered if it [ldlinux.c32] was an internal package.
It is documented as "library module". One may inquire the version by something like: $ strings /mnt/iso/isolinux/isolinux.bin | fgrep ISOLINUX ISOLINUX 6.02 > The package is listed as syslinux-5.10 So probably the software which prepares the file isofs.txt and the ISOLINUX files would need to be augmented. archlinux-2013.11.01-dual.iso (with SYSLINUX 6.02) has in /isolinux: boot.cat ....... El Torito boot catalog (was generated by mkisofs option -c) isohdpfx.bin ... MBR template for isohybrid (unclear why it is present) isolinux.bin ... El Torito boot image and isohybrid MBR continuation isolinux.cfg ... entry point of definition of boot menu and start options ldlinux.c32 .... "library module" (obviously used by isolinux.bin) Except isohdpfx.bin and boot.cat they have to be provided to mkisofs as data files on hard disk and as from/to in isofs.txt (as DISK1 line ?). > I shall update it to the latest 6.02 Or downgrade to 4.xy which seems to be what the software expects. > Also had a look at the syslinux changelogs, but there was no mention of > ldlinux.c32 as a problem. The error message is well known to the web. I must say, though, that the official answer in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems#Failed_to_load_ldlinux does not help much, except pointing to http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Library_modules#All_Syslinux_variants_need_an_additional_ldlinux_module There we read "For other Syslinux variants (PXELINUX, ISOLINUX) booting BIOS firmware, the second file, ldlinux.c32, needs to be manually added, just as the boot loader." I translate this to: Let your ISO production script copy ldlinux.c32 from the installed ISOLINUX to the prepared disk file tree for mkisofs. > starting to go around in circles burning cd's, testing, rebuilding, How about testing with a virtual machine and the ISO as virtual CD-ROM ? That would spare at least the burning.
