Bug#857597: debian-cd: "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" when booting USB flash drive in old PC

[David Christensen <dpchrist@holgerdanske.com>]

Package: debian-cd
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have two older computers with Intel D865GBFLK motherboards (~2003)
and Pentium 4 HT CPU's.  They both have the latest available BIOS
installed.  I would like to put Debian on them.


I have downloaded:

    debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso


When I put the ISO on a CD-R, it boots correctly.


When I put the ISO on a USB flash drive and boot it:

    isolinux.bin missing or corrupt


The same USB flash drive boots correctly in newer computers.


Memtest86+ 5.01 on a USB flash drive boots correctly in the older
computers.


My conclusion is that the ISO is not compatible with the BIOS in the
older computers.


David
