Well, would you believe it? The solution was *ridiculously* simple!

All I had to do was change the line:

-v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table \

to

-v -d -N -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \

(note the change to the -boot-load-size parameter!)

when I built the dvd image, and it all leaped into life!

Bingo!

And before anyone else points it out.... ;-)

I've just noticed that in the isolinux readme, Pat recommends a value of 4 in
here. I can't remember where I got the 32 from, but I'm pretty certain it must
have been in one of the earlier versions of Slack. 'Coz it always worked
(until now!) I'd never updated my build script, or even checked in the
isolinux folder for updates to the readme.

How dumb do I feel?

Very!
