2010-11-24 17:00:27 Tom Freudenberg description Hi, it took me a while until I found the problem for this behavior. When you create a new ISO with currentliy NEW kernel, it will result in a not starting CD or USB-Stick. Them problem is caused by Debian/Kernel/Syslinux changes (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/debian/changelog) because they have changed file name from "TEXT.CFG" to "TXT.CFG". So the module script "customize_iso" will not grep "INITRD.LZ" and so there is no update on that initrd disk. The startup params left as "initrd.lz" because the SED command will also not work and then there is no boot with normal startup params :-( In "customize_iso" you need following patch, so that the script can handle OLD kernel with TEXT.CFG and nnew ones with TXT.CFG Greetz Tom Hi, it took me a while until I found the problem for this behavior.
