Hello,

I'm trying to pass the serial port options to memtest86+ using
Syslinux 5.01 but is not working. Debugging the memtest86+,
the check at main.cpp function static void parse_command_line(void)

if (*OLD_CL_MAGIC_ADDR != OLD_CL_MAGIC)
        return;

Is being evaluated to true. What should I do? There is a way to
instruct memtest to use the "old way" to pass parameters to memtest or
shoud I try to patch memtest?

This is my menu label:

label Memtest
linux /boot/memtest.bin console=ttyS1,115200

Thank you.
