...#39;re all using isolinux, but they always use initrd and the root filesystem is stored in a disk image file. I wondered if it's really neccessary to do that, according to the mkisofs manpage all the essential features like uid, gid, permission, symbolic/hard links are supported using the Rock Riedge extension, so I thought it's worth a try to directly mount the cdrom as root device by passing root=/dev/sr0 to the kernel command line. I tried this and it worked really well, sending out this good news and my appreciation to the syslinux developers!
