Simply, after using `dd` to copy the ISO onto memory stick, it fails to produce a readable disk.
Using the previous ISO, it does create a readable disk, therefore there is an issue with the is ISO.
This task depends upon

  • Field changed: Severity (Critical → Low)
Right, this change was made to also work on EFI systems via ISOHYBRID-GPT like with ISOHYBRID-MBR. Now the ISO contains an MBR and GPT. You may restore old behaviour, but destroying this duality using: isohybrid <iso> | <dev-where-iso-is-dumped>
