I found, that this not only a problem of the netinst cd, but also hardware dependent. I can boot my old 486 Toshiba Satellite laptop with this cd, but on my IBM Thinkpad T23 the cd produces the isolinux error:
Error: no configuration file found. (The T23 does not contain the original optical drive, I changed the drive myself years ago to an NEC ND-7551A. I had no problems in the past years with this drive). I checked the md5sum of the downloaded iso, it was correct. I burned the iso to three different discs (from different vendors), all showed the same problem. So this should not be a problem of a bad disc. I have a netinst iso lying around here from 13.06.2010, it boots fine on my T23. It contains Isolinux 3.86 Is there some regression brought in by the Isolinux 4.0 version?
