Despite having several issues (like missing firmware), it is still used by people. It seems that the only way to stop that is to remove it. Change-Id: I4baed8e8ab663c624dcc8d06ff0293d57b082abb

iso
Generates a bootable ISO image from the kernel/ramdisk generated by
the elements baremetal,
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk (from
ironic-python-agent-builder) or ramdisk. It uses isolinux
to boot on BIOS machines and grub to boot on EFI machines.
This element has been tested on the following distro(s): * ubuntu * fedora * debian
NOTE: For other distros, please make sure the
isolinux.bin file exists at
/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin.
baremetal element
When used with baremetal element, this generates a
bootable ISO image named <image-name>-boot.iso
booting the generated kernel and ramdisk. It also automatically appends
kernel command-line argument
'root=UUID=<uuid-of-the-root-partition>'. Any more kernel
command-line arguments required may be provided by specifying them in
DIB_BOOT_ISO_KERNEL_CMDLINE_ARGS.
NOTE: It uses pre-built efiboot.img by default to work for UEFI machines. This is because of a bug in latest version of grub[1]. The user may choose to avoid using pre-built binary and build efiboot.img on their own machine by setting the environment variable DIB_UEFI_ISO_BUILD_EFIBOOT to 1 (this might work only on certain versions of grub). The current efiboot.img was generated by the method build_efiboot_img() in 100-build-iso on Ubuntu 13.10 with grub 2.00-19ubuntu2.1.
ramdisk element
When used with ramdisk element, this generates a
bootable ISO image named <image-name>.iso booting the
generated kernel and ramdisk. It also automatically appends kernel
command-line argument 'boot_method=vmedia' which is required for Ironic
drivers iscsi_ilo.
ironic-python-agent-ramdisk element
When used with ironic-python-agent-ramdisk element, this
generates a bootable ISO image named <image-name>.iso
which boots the agent kernel and agent ramdisk.
