Maybe I should add an important note regarding EFI:
The program genisoimage is in a state where mkisofs has been in May 2004, mkisofs since then has evolved a lot.
Genisoimage does not support EFI boots, but mkisofs added support for EFI via the -eltorito-platform option. Check the man page and use -eltorito-platform efi
Also check the new option -modification-date that has been added on request of Oracle in order to allow to have UUIDs in the image.
Thanks for providing info, I added Steffen and Marcus who could be interested on the information here.
Regarding the bugs in genisoimage: there are many.... genisoimage typically creates images with structural problems that do not follow the standard. These problems have been fixed in mkisofs in Autumn 2006, allowing to make backup copies of whole directories trees of bootable disks using all correct meta data in Rock Ridge.
I don't follow any cdrkit changes and don't know what happened to it, but googling it did reveal they are not as actively maintained as cdrtools and are more problematic. We should take it into account. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
