Syslinux - Apr 2002 - SYSLINUX 1.71 released

I have released SYSLINUX 1.71 after fixing the total "brown-paper-bag"
class bug in 1.70.  My best guess is that I checked in the wrong verson 
of some code.

SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major
rewrite of some of the internals.  It also includes some bug fixes.

SYSLINUX 1.71 is a bug fix to 1.70.

Changes in 1.71:
         * Fix a "brown paper bag" class bug in the new core code.

Changes in 1.70:
         * Major code restructuring.
         * Relax the conventional memory limits somewhat.
         * MEMDISK: Set up the "version number string" pointer in the
           header correctly.
         * SYSLINUX: Fix, again, "the bug that won't die": the use
of
           the offset parameter with the SYSLINUX installer.
         * SYSLINUX: Fix possible superblock corruption problem in the
           SYSLINUX installer.

Title:          syslinux
Version:        1.71
Entered-date:   2002-04-17
Description:    SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system
                 which operates off MS-DOS floppies.  It is intended to
                 simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue
                 disks, and other uses for boot floppies.  A SYSLINUX floppy
                 can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other
                 OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once
                 it has been created; and requires only a ~ 8K DOS program
                 or ~ 16K Linux program to create in the first place.
                 Starting with version 1.46 it also includes PXELINUX, a
                 program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM
                 compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution
                 Environment) specification.
                 Starting with version 1.60 it also includes ISOLINUX,
                 a program to boot off an ISO 9660 in native
                 "no-emulation" mode.
                 Starting with version 1.65, it additionally includes
                 MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
                 nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.

I just tried upgrading from version 1.66 to 1.71 of isolinux. Now when I 
boot, it gives me the following:

Loading vmlinux.....
Loading initrd.gz.............
Loading Ready


and hangs at that point.

I tried the debug version and all looks good but does exactly the same 
thing.

My isolinux.cfg file looks like:

timeout 0
default vmlinuz
append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.gz initrd_archive=minix 
ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0
