[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.32-pre7 release candidate&In-Reply-To=
Hi, First, many thanks for your great work. Don't know if it's the good way to post .... But I want to give you a good information ( and also good for me). I try to make an usb bootable SystemrescueCd (www.sysrescd.org) on a new 2Gb Usb Key (noname, UT163 controller from USBest) and it was impossible with syslinux 3.31 release ( using win32 version syslinux.exe). The syslinux command seemed to be ok (no error message, ldlinux.sys file created on usb stick)... but impossible to boot from the usb stick . Always "Missing operating system" message. Same problem with a similar noname 1Gb usb stick. Same version of syslinux.exe with a Corsair Voyager Flash drive 1Gb was ok. I've try the 3.40-pre3 release on my noname 2Gb..... and now it's OK !!!!! Great !!
