DetailsDescription:
The latest release of syslinux - v6.03-4 - breaks archiso builds, making them unbootable. On boot, the system displays "ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03* EHDD" and hangs. I noticed the breakage yesterday after an archiso build that downloaded the most recent syslinux package version. I had been building for the 3 days prior to yesterday without any issues. None of the configuration changed between builds since I'm working on detailing the kde installation. Today, I repackaged syslinux-6.03-3 as syslinux-6.03-5 and loaded into my own testing repo - the issue went away after an archiso build using the repackaged syslinux-6.03-3. The problem is definitely with the '-4' version. Additional info: * package version(s) - 6.03-4 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Create an arch iso build using archiso - try to boot it up. It errors out with the message "ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03* EHDD" and hangs. |

Followed changes we had after revision 3:
Using readlink:

Add support for /dev/mmcblk0p1:

Fix brtfs boot:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/syslinux&id=126247b3d4abe1f329f8036ea857331e82af26ee
I think it is most likely the readlink change.
Is it possible that the original git-snapshot for -4 might also work by simply ignoring the btrfs fix patch?
I also posted this bug as an archiso issue, which attracted the attention of the package maintainers, who I've engaged in a thread under that task number.
