Bug Description
It seems that syslinux looks for /casper/initrd.lz and /casper/vmlinuz , however those files are not present / soft linked to the actual kernel and initrd that are installed.
Steps to reproduce :
sudo apt-get install livecd-rootfs syslinux-
cd /opt
sudo mkdir iso_create
cd iso_create
sudo chown -R $USER .
cp -aR /usr/share/
PROJECT=kubuntu SUITE=saucy ARCH=i386 BINARYFORMAT=
sudo lb build
Once complete you will get a binary.hybrid.iso , try booting that with KVM / VirtualBox. On boot syslinux presents you with a message that it could not find /casper/vmlinuz , in the build directory you can see that binary/casper has vmlinuz-
