It's not missing. We are using isolinux directory. It should be changed for mageia 4 to go back to upstream use.

btw in qa-discuss ML it seems people were able to boot both DVD without any pb

Strange.  Booting either dvd from a usb stick, stops at ...
Error reading config file
boot:

Workaround is to type in "linux" and press enter.

only with the 64bits no ? I have the same in vbox (works with the 32b)

Yes.  When I compared the x86-64 with the dual contents trying to figure
out the cause of the error, I mistakenly thought it was due to the lack
of the syslinux directory, and then checked the i586 dvd by mounting
the iso image and checking it's contents, rather then by actually booting
it.

The i586 dvd is ok, and with todays x86-64, this bug is fixed.
