This seems to have something to do with the way the caching file system works
when a USB is used for the live media.
When I am booted to the live system on USB, I see a "/read-only" which is a
loop mount from an image on the boot media. And I see a "/read-write" which is
the copy-on-write partition on the USB.
I also see the root file system under "overlayfs", so I assume that is supposed
to overlay the parts.
The "/boot" subdirectory of "/read-only" has the kernels.
The "/boot" subdirectory of "/read-write" is empty.
The main "/boot" directory, which presumably should be an overlay of the two
parts, is empty or near empty.
--------
If, instead, I run "isohybrid" in the iso, and then use the "live-fat-stick"
script, booting that gives the correct "/boot" content.
I am guessing, but have not tested, that if I write the original iso to a DVD
and boot that, it also works properly. And I'm guessing that's why coolo could
not repeat the problem (see factory email).
Note: I ran "isohybrid" because the live-fat-stick script does not seem to like
UEFI formatted isos. I did not use the "--uefi" option to isohybrid.
