I don't have to. Nothing is duplicated on my image.

I was thinking about adding the ISO9660 EFI but no I don't have a reason
for that.

Thanks for the information. I would be surprised if it boots everywhere.
Looks like some kernel/driver problem. I will release a new set of
images, based on current PLD Th soon – maybe that will work better.
I am also considering using the kernel-rescuecd package instead of the
full featured PLD kernel which is used now.
