Bug#587150: #587150: d-i netinst cd doesn't boot, isolinux error: further investigation

[Holger Wansing <linux@wansing-online.de>]

I found, that this not only a problem of the netinst cd, but
also hardware dependent.
I can boot my old 486 Toshiba Satellite laptop with this cd,
but on my IBM Thinkpad T23 the cd produces the isolinux error:

Error: no configuration file found.

(The T23 does not contain the original optical drive, I changed the drive
myself years ago to an NEC ND-7551A. I had no problems in the past years 
with this drive).

I checked the md5sum of the downloaded iso, it was correct.
I burned the iso to three different discs (from different vendors),
all showed the same problem. So this should not be a problem of a 
bad disc.
I have a netinst iso lying around here from 13.06.2010, it boots
fine on my T23. It contains Isolinux 3.86

Is there some regression brought in by the Isolinux 4.0 version?


Greetings
Holger
