...I'm having various issues with booting recent Linux kernels with syslinux. syslinux-2.13 was the last version that worked and since syslinux-3.00 it doesn't work. When it doesn't work all I get is "Boot failed" from the bootsector. Since the obvious change since 3.* is the eddcheck and commenting that piece out does make 3.* work (3.02 and 3.70). It can be similated in bochs using the bios which is available here: ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-x86-sbc/old-downloads/binaries/5500BIOS.ZIP How should I proceed? Thanks Sean
