I wish someone will test your ISO file.
I have had my Laptop since 2008 and it work 100% all the time. I did your test with a CD and USB thumb drive and it happen the same in both. It never found 000-kernel.xzm or 001-core.xzm in both ways I did it and that the problem. As far as CDROM device is a block device I don't think so, It would not even try to boot if it was a block device.
Here is the output.
