A huge thanks to Thomas Schmitt for posting xorrisofs arguments :)
Here is a lorax PR switching to grub2 for BIOS and changing the layout
of the iso as described in his post:
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1226
And a Fedora 36 iso:

Big thanks to you for working on this!
I've tested this with:
- qemu bios -cdrom
- qemu uefi -cdrom
- qemu bios -hda
- qemu uefi -hda
- USB stick on uefi PC hardware with SB off
- USB stick on UEFI PC hardware with SB on
- USB stick on Apple hardware UEFI
2010 Macbook Air and 2012 Macbook Pro
- Media test works on all of the above
I have not tested it on CD or DVD physical media. I have a stack of
blank discs but apparently have unplugged all my drives to use their
SATA ports for SSDs :)
I've tested your ISO with:
- Dell XPS 15 L502X 8GB RAM (BIOS only) CD-R physical media
Booted and started the installer reasonably fast
- same machine USB media (written to whole device using dd)
Boot fails with "Operation system not found" error.
Same USB stick boots fine on another machine (UEFI+SecureBoot), so
the medium is fine.
Regards,
Dominik

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
