Description Dave Hodgins 2011-11-24 00:46:57 CET 
With the Mageia 1 iso,
od -N 512 -x mageia-dvd-1-i586.iso|grep aa55
will show that there is a valid mbr signature in the first block.

$ od -N 512 -x Mageia-2-alpha1-i586-DVD.iso
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
0001000

The first 512 bytes are all hex zero.

As a workaround, you can use isohybrid (in the rpm syslinux)

Thanks.  After modifying the iso image using the isohybrid command, and
then copying the modified iso to a usb stick, I can now boot the image
from the stick.
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2011-11-25 12:22:18 CET 
Next set of dvd should be fixed.
Anne on the pad: "DVDs fixed - isohybrid was commented in code...."

Feel free to close if it's ok
Comment 4 Anne Nicolas 2011-11-25 14:36:45 CET 
Closing as it was missing in previous bcd code. Confirmed by testers on last isos
