Bug Description
geteltorito fails to extract hard drive images from el torito boot cd's. The example I have currently is extracting Thinkpad BIOS update images from the boot CD's available from Lenovo. This has been fixed in a newer version of the geteltorito script. I've attached a debdiff to bring the geteltorito script up to date so it can extract these hard drive images properly. Sadly, I can't seem to build cdrkit from source before or after this patch is applied on either Karmic or Lucid, but I'm quite certain that the change in this patch is safe. If the package won't build, that will have to be dealt with separately.

the geteltorito version shipped with lucid is outdated.
"# Version 0.5
# 2009/06/22
# A patch for harddisk emulation images from <email address hidden>.
# For BootMediaType=4 (harddisk emulation) SectorCount is always 1, and geteltorito.pl
# returns just MBR. This patch guesses the correct bootimage size
# from MBR (offset+size of the first partitition)."
the up to date version can be found at http://
and maverick seems to use the same version at the moment...
