Syslinux - Oct 2010 - OT: Issue with Kernel lock on hardware

I have a user of my g4l project that has the kernel just stop after showing 
myri10ge 

I built a kernel without that modual, and it stopped with the one after that.
Have tried the debug option, but it shows no more info. 
The syslinux menu includes a number of kernels with various released 
versions. The kernels have the nics and disk controllers build in instead of 
modules. 

Is there something else available to isolate what the problem might be?
Using syslinux 4.02, but that seems to be working fine. 

Thanks.
