Description (last modified by Bruno Cornec)

Upon booting from test media, the boot halts with a missing file (ldlinux.c32). It does not appear to be on the media. I did find ldlinux.c32 on the computer in /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32. 

[root@nexus ~]# rpm -q syslinux
syslinux-5.10-1.el6.rfx.x86_64

[root@nexus ~]# find / -name ldlinux.c32 -print
/usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32
/boot/extlinux/ldlinux.c32

This is a significantly newer version of syslinux versus the version you have. Looks like they changed something.

Your suggested patch of:

cp /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 $MINDI_TMP/iso around line 1497 when MakeMessage has been called e.g.

appears to fix this problem.

It appears the patch did not completely fix the problem. When running a full backup from mondo, the same problem occurs when you try and boot from the media - missing ldlinux.c32.

It looks like another patch is required somewhere else in mindi.
