[syslinux] Survey: SYSLINUX: 2.13 works, 3.0x don't
2.20-pre1 also doesn't work.
Anything later than 2.13 probably doesn't work.
I'm booting from a 128MB USB flash drive.

Okay, this applies particularly to SYSLINUX, not ISO/PXE/EXTLINUX.
If you have a system on which 2.13 boots and 3.0x don't, I would like to
get as much information as possible about it. In particular, I would
like to know:
- What device are you booting from (floppy, USB, IDE harddrive...)
- Motherboard manufacturer/model
- CPU manufacturer/model (a dump of /proc/cpuinfo would be ideal)
- BIOS revision
- SCSI card manufacturer, if applicable
- Does 2.20-pre1 also break on this system
- Did you send me hardware (I have at least one motherboard sent to
me which I failed to record exactly what it was for.)
Please send this even if you have sent it before; the last year has been
tumultuous enough that my memory is pretty short.

If you have a system on which 2.13 boots and 3.0x don't, I would like to get as much information as possible about it. In particular, I would like to know: - What device are you booting from (floppy, USB, IDE harddrive...) - Motherboard manufacturer/model - CPU manufacturer/model (a dump of /proc/cpuinfo would be ideal) - BIOS revision - SCSI card manufacturer, if applicable - Does 2.20-pre1 also break on this system - Did you send me hardware (I have at least one motherboard sent to me which I failed to record exactly what it was for.) Please send this even if you have sent it before; the last year has been tumultuous enough that my memory is pretty short. -hpa -------------------------------------------------------------- I sent that info because it was requested (above) that information be sent to help figure out why syslinux versions later than 2.13 had problems booting.
