You need to put all the isolinux files in either /isolinux or
/boot/isolinux.
quote isolinux doc------------------------------------------
To create an image, create a directory called "isolinux" (or, if you
prefer, "boot/isolinux") underneath the root directory of your ISO
image master file tree. Copy isolinux.bin, a config file called
"isolinux.cfg" (see syslinux.doc for details on the configuration
file), and all necessary files (kernels, initrd, display files, etc.)
into this directory, then use the following command to create your ISO
image (add additional options as appropriate, such as -J or -R):
mkisofs -o <isoimage> \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
<root-of-iso-tree>
(If you named the directory boot/isolinux that should of course be
-b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat.)
