1 I'm trying to make a Gentoo CD (who on here isn't?) for an IBM PPC64
2 machine. The official Gentoo Minimal CD boots just fine on my machine
3 (RS/6000), but my own custom ISO does not. My disc is not being detected as
4 a bootable device, and oh how I wish I knew why.

6 My only guess is that it has something to do with mkisofs/cdrtools. I have
7 version 2.01.01_alpha10 installed. I realize that 2.01.01_alpha25 is
8 available, but I can't get that version even to create an ISO, let alone a
9 bootable one.

11 For reference's sake, here is the exact mkisofs command as it is getting run
12 by catalyst on my system:
13
14 mkisofs -J -r -l -chrp-boot -netatalk -hfs -probe -map
15 /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default/livecd-stage2-ppc64-5.0/boot/map.hfs -part
16 -no-desktop -hfs-volid "catalyst 2007.0" -hfs-bless
17 /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default/livecd-stage2-ppc64-5.0/boot -V "catalyst
18 2007.0" -o /root/MyDisc_PPC64.iso /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default/livecd-
19 stage2-ppc64-5.0/
20
21 What version of cdrtools was used to make Gentoo's official 2007.0 build?
22
23 Thanks,
