[syslinux] Loading plpbt.bin from Syslinux 4.02 causes reboot
Hi, I'm trying to setup a flash drive with Syslinux 4.0.2, ifplop.c32, and plpbt.bin (5.0.10) as shown in the thread here: http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,165.0.html Unfortunately, the system reboots as soon as I load plpbt.bin from Syslinux. I don't think it's a problem with plpbt.bin because it works if I boot Grub4DOS and load it. : ( It will also work if I boot Syslinux, load grub.exe, and then have that load the same plpbt.bin. Help... -Mike

[syslinux] Loading plpbt.bin from Syslinux 4.02 causes reboot
OK, it's working now. : ) I did some more searching and found the problem. I was using the example as shown, i.e. trying to load plpbt.bin, and that doesn't work because of the .bin extension. I did run across something that said the extension needed to be removed, but didn't know what that meant since the filename needs to be complete or it gives a "could not find kernel image..." error. Now I see it's necessary to rename the file to something else without that extension at all, and then boot that.
