Syslinux - Jan 2008 - Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg

Using versions 3.53 and 3.54, I get that message with the following
configuration file (which is under 8192 bytes) on a USB stick; it's the
configuration file from PCLinuxOS 2007. It was originally named
isolinux.cfg; I changed isolinux.* to syslinux* for booting from USB.
There is no blank line at the end of the file.

It works well with 3.11, but that version doesn't allow me to put all the 
files in a /syslinux directory. I suspect the culprit is "gfxboot" -- 
what can I use instead of it?

gfxboot is not supported in stock syslinux - it's a local hack some 
distributions put in.

Try using vesamenu.c32 instead.
