Created a custom boot which I try to mount in vmware, but I do get
"could not find kernel linux" when I try to boot.

Created iso like this:
mkisofs -r -T -J -V "Custom RHEL4 Build" -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o custom.iso
isolinux/

My syslinux.cfg look like this:
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
F7 snake.msg
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216
label text
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img text ramdisk_size=9216
label expert
  kernel vmlinuz
  append expert initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216
label vmware
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 linux
ks=nfs:10.10.11.100:/RHEL4/vmware.cfg
label lowres
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img lowres ramdisk_size=9216


Contents on the iso file (mount -o loop custom.iso /mnt):
