FWIW I ran it on real hardware, not a VM. Dell Optiplex 990 Core i7-2600 Intel 6 Series/C200 chipset, with Sandy Bridge Radeon HD 5450
I tried writing boot.iso to the USB flash drive and trying to boot from it then it fails immediately, the system is not able to boot from it.
What did you use to write it ? I think it has to be dd to the /dev/sdX as root.

Yes I know how to write the images with dd.
I tried boot.iso as a CD on a VMWare VM and while the initial screen with the boot prompt is all corrupted, it does work. So, if boot.iso is intended to work on USB flash drives, that's not currently working, otherwise it's OK save for the corrupted screen. all.img is more fundamentally broken right now.
Will take a look. The iso is created with isohybrid so it should, in theory at least, work fine on a USB stick, but perhaps the new syslinux doesn't like it. Dunno. The all.img bit is likely my fault not copying in the correct syslinux files when I made that change.

Flash drive I was using appears to be faulty. Writing boot.iso out to a different one does work, save for the corrupted screen, so other than that, it's really all.img that needs to be fixed (or possibly dropped as Manuel suggested).
Summary: stage1 (boot.iso/all.img) broken in current Cauldron => stage1 (all.img) broken in current Cauldron
Priority: Normal => release_blocker
Just opened all.img. It seems the size for the image is too small.

You & Colin did the syslinux upgrade and the partial drakx-installer-images adaptation :-)

tested here, it works ok now. Thanks Colin

(In reply to Anne Nicolas from comment #11) > Thanks for this constructive answer Are you serious? You know better than me about syslinux and you did the upgrade? I simply pointed that since you already did part of it, you should be able to do the other half.
