--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-cd Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I have two older computers with Intel D865GBFLK motherboards (~2003) and Pentium 4 HT CPU's. They both have the latest available BIOS installed. I would like to put Debian on them. I have downloaded: debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso When I put the ISO on a CD-R, it boots correctly. When I put the ISO on a USB flash drive and boot it: isolinux.bin missing or corrupt The same USB flash drive boots correctly in newer computers. Memtest86+ 5.01 on a USB flash drive boots correctly in the older computers. My conclusion is that the ISO is not compatible with the BIOS in the older computers.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, syslinux has been upgraded in both stretch and jessie in their respective recent point release (9.3 and 8.10) to address the issue. Buster/sid also have a fixed syslinux version since ~mid October. I've just confirmed that the fix is present in the most recent "netinst" CDs for stretch [1] and jessie [2] (using the snippet provided by Thomas Schmitt). And any newly created CDs should no longer suffer fron this issue. Therefore I'm closing the bug. Thanks everyone for debugging, fixing and testing! Regards Lukas [1] https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso [2] https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.10.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso
