The symptomatic failure (we don't know if it's the root failure) comes from the function 'syslinux_compute_movelist' called from 'syslinux_do_shuffle'. The last 'printf' shown from inside 'syslinux_compute_movelist' is the one marked with "##########################", that means, seems like the appropriate error message would be 'Cannot find the chunk containing the critical byte\n". We're not familia...

...r VBox 4.1.x might help solve bug > #45? > > TIA, > Ady. I followed hpa's instructions (given at #syslinux, on syslinux 6.03pre3): 1_ Add: -DDEBUG=1 -DCORE_DEBUG=1 to mk/devel.mk. 2_ Build. I used 'make bios' 3_ Test with: debug.c32 -e bios_boot_linux debug.c32 -e syslinux_do_shuffle debug.c32 -e syslinux_dump_memmap debug.c32 -e syslinux_dump_movelist (I actually used debug.c32 -e <func1> , <func2> , ...

Short summary: I think bug #45 http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45 "Regression in Syslinux 6.xx. Doesn't 'hand over' to linux kernel" can be reproduced using VirtualBox 4.1.x while trying to boot a relatively-newish Linux kernel. Now, for more details... Under VBox 4.1.x and using ISOLINUX 4.xx, a newish Linux kernel boots correctly. Under VBox 4.1.x and
