In playing about with booting from USB, I discovered that 2.10 doesn't pass user-entered options to /proc/cmdline. I back-versioned to 2.04 and user options work again. Is this a known issue? Or perhaps an idiosyncrasy with my hardware? (I have to tell my mobo to boot from a USB-ZIP for the mem stick to actually boot) I'm new to the list. Perhaps there are archives I should be searching? Pointers appreciated. -- Roy M. Silvernail is roy at rant-central.com, and you're not "Progress, like reality, is not optional." - R. A.

There have been issues with 2.10 discussed on the list. You can see the archives here: http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/ You can go back to 2.09 or use a pre-release for 2.11 until 2.11 comes out, which could potentially be very soon. Joel Roy M.
