That's likely your problem. FYI here is the full set of stuff
livecd-creator uses:
args = ["/usr/bin/mkisofs",
"-J", "-r",
"-hide-rr-moved", "-hide-joliet-trans-tbl",
"-V", self.fslabel,
"-o", iso]
[ "-b", "isolinux/isolinux.bin",
"-c", "isolinux/boot.cat",
"-no-emul-boot", "-boot-info-table",
"-boot-load-size", "4" ]
>Problem solved once O added -J -r. I am using mkisofs 2.01. The following no boots
I hop to move on to solving my final problem, which is why I cannot make an updated initrd
image boot that the only change was I copied the /lib/modules/ folder from the updated
kernel. The debugging should go much faster thanks to your help now that I can quickly
use mkisofs to make bootable ISOs without going ttrough the time consuming livecd-creator
process.
mkisofs -o image/sbc-dds-livecd-i386.iso \
-J -r \
-V "sbc-dds-livecd-i386" \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \

Sorry, I wanted to fix my confusing and misleading typos.
Problem solved once I added the mkisofs options you mentioned "-J -r". I am
using mkisofs 2.01. The following now boots.
mkisofs -o image/sbc-dds-livecd-i386.iso \
-J -r \
-V "sbc-dds-livecd-i386" \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
src/.
I hope to move on to solving my final problem, which is why I cannot make an updated
initrd image boot which the only change was I copied the /lib/modules/ folder from the
updated kernel. The debugging should go much faster thanks to your help now that I can
quickly use mkisofs to make bootable ISOs without going ttrough the time consuming

Thanks again for both of your help,
