Hello, I'm trying to pass the serial port options to memtest86+ using Syslinux 5.01 but is not working. Debugging the memtest86+, the check at main.cpp function static void parse_command_line(void) if (*OLD_CL_MAGIC_ADDR != OLD_CL_MAGIC) return; Is being evaluated to true. What should I do? There is a way to instruct memtest to use the "old way" to pass parameters to memtest or shoud I try to patch memtest? This is my menu label: label Memtest linux /boot/memtest.bin console=ttyS1,115...

I'm building pxe-booted kiosk systems using pxelinux 3.09 and linux kernel 2.6.14. I noticed a discussion on this list that 3.09 supports a 511 character command line but that the kernel would need to be patched to access it beyond 255. How can I patch the kernel to do so?
