To ensure you’ve got all uppercase characters you could use the following command in the xp folder after slipstreaming SP3:

for i in `find * -depth`; do (mv $i `echo $i|tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`); done

Thanks you very much for this post. Thanks especially to Josh too for mentioning the -D switch! The -N switch is not needed, if the --max-iso-filenams switch works, as this switch includes -N. But at least in recent versions of genisoimage, the switch -c takes an argument - the file name of the boot catalog. If --max-iso-filenames directly follows -c, it is read as the name of the boot catalog instead of applied as switch. I used this command line with success (after using geteltorito to copy the boot image to BOOT.BIN in the root directory of the CD contents):

genisoimage -b BOOT.BIN -no-emul-boot -c BOOT.CAT -D --max-iso9660-filenames -relaxed-filenames -o /var/tmp/newimage.iso .

Oops, I also had to enable Joliet extensions (-J) because I had a file that wasn’t being seen — I386/DriverLanguageMap.xml

You’re right about geteltorito — looks like it is shipped with genisoimage. Thanks for the tip — I will update the article.

I also had to add the -N option, thanks Jeremiah. Possibly because of a later Rev of genisoimage. I’m using Ubuntu 9.04.

You can remove bbie and wine and replace it with Linux: geteltorito -o bootsect.img /dev/cdrom

Sweet…
