[boot scriptor] Re: cdshell isolinux freeze/reboot?

The cd initially boots to isolinux just fine, then I use diskemu to boot
cdshell.  Once inside cdshell I have problems using isolinux.  If, on
the cdshell command line provided with the ultimate boot cd, I try a
command like "isolinux gentoo" where gentoo is the name of a kernel
isolinux hangs.  More specifically the isolinux module that comes with
cdshell hangs.  Is there something related to the isolinux module that I
am missing or misconfiguring?

Thanks,
Jason
