...of an "adequate" minfatsize in Syslinux's code, we should at least test the values that are around or close to the limits between FAT12/16/32. For simplicity, I'll give basic examples (which I have not truly analyzed; developers could / should test relevant code). Example A: Volume_Total_Sectors: 66'463 FAT type: FAT32 Bytes_per_sector: 512 Sectors_per_Cluster: 1 Sectors_per_FAT: 511 ---> this value should _not_ be accepted as valid minfatsize; 512 should be OK. Example B: Volume_Total_Sectors: 4'187'104 FAT type: FAT32 Bytes_per_sector: 512 Sectors_per_Cluster: 64 Sectors...

Hi Ady, I won't comment on the reasons why the original computation was wrong, but thanks for the detailed analysis.
