I am unable to boot the custom ISO I have created.
I have just created a Custom ISO from the Fedora Live ISO using the
following command:
genisoimage -U -r -v -T -J -joliet-long -V "Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -volset
"Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -A "CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-31-1-9" -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e images/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot -o
../Fedora_Custom.iso .
But I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't get the Live ISO to
boot. Its stuck at the bootmenu.
This is the directory structure for my custom ISO:
[sreyan@localhost Fedora_ISO]$ tree .

As you can see there is no difference except for the Kickstart file which I
am not even using in isolinux.cfg
This is the output of isolinux.cfg:
default vesamenu.c32

# Clear the screen when exiting the menu, instead of leaving the menu
displayed.
# For vesamenu, this means the graphical background is still displayed
without

This is the same as the original ISO, there is no difference.
If there is no difference why am I unable to boot into Fedora.
These are the command line params from isolinux in both mine and original
ISO.

For me I am unable to progress any further than the boot screen.
Where am I going wrong ?
