Doesn't work for me - when I choose any boot label, the menu simply
flashes and re-appears. When I press Tab and try to type a custom boot
line, it behaves either the same as the menu choices (returning me to
the menu) or in case I type the name of a symlink (e.g., /bin/sh, which
is a symlink to /bin/bash) in place of kernel image filename, it then
reports an error. All of this is in QEMU. The same (outdated) version
of QEMU boots another (non-Owl) ISO that also uses ISOLINUX (an older
version of it) just fine. I don't know if the same problem would be
seen on real hardware or in another VM - haven't tried yet.
It is possible that I broke something with my additional changes after
yours, but I've already tried reverting many of those changes (in my
test ISO build tree) and it didn't make a difference.
i686 and x86_64 behave the same (fail in the same way as above).
Can you please try to build an ISO from Owl-current with my changes (as
currently committed) and see if it works for you?
Thanks,
Alexander
