[Bug 1254344] Re: Syslinux searches for kernel + initrd that are not present

[Rohan Garg]

** Description changed:

  It seems that syslinux looks for /casper/initrd.lz and /casper/vmlinuz ,
  however those files are not present / soft linked to the actual kernel
  and initrd that are installed.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce :
+ 
+ sudo apt-get install livecd-rootfs syslinux-themes-ubuntu-saucy
+ cd /opt
+ sudo mkdir iso_create
+ cd iso_create
+ sudo chown -R $USER .
+ cp -aR /usr/share/livecd-rootfs/live-build/auto .
+ PROJECT=kubuntu SUITE=saucy ARCH=i386 BINARYFORMAT=iso-hybrid LB_SYSLINUX_THEME="ubuntu-saucy" lb config
+ sudo lb build
+ 
+ Once complete you will get a binary.hybrid.iso , try booting that with
+ KVM / VirtualBox. On boot syslinux presents you with a message that it
+ could not find /casper/vmlinuz , in the build directory you can see that
+ binary/casper has vmlinuz-3.11.0-13-generic however that is not
+ symlinked to casper/syslinux/vmlinuz
