I do not see this option among your xorriso -as mkisofs arguments: -boot-info-table It is necessary for the ISOLINUX boot image to work properly. The file isolinux/isolinux.bin needs to learn its own block address in the ISO image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More problems which nevertheless should not have prevented bootability: > -partition_offset \ An argument "16" is missing here.

They are harmless, except if you want to extract all files on MS-Windows and want to bring them onto a system that supports symbolic links. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Further questions in case the next try does not yet yield success: What do you get from xorriso -indev /var/opt/newest.iso -toc and /sbin/fdisk -lu /var/opt/newest.iso > And virtualbox won't > accept the end result iso as valid.
