[syslinux] Dell OptiPlex GX620 can longer boot from CD with syslinux-5.X
System: Dell OptiPlex GX620 (Both BIOS A10 and A11 affected) Medium: Physical CD-RW Observed: ISOLINUX 5.11 0x51D1AE48 ETCD_ is the only line displayed on-screen. A flashing cursor trails at the end of the line. Escape key does not return boot: prompt. Line1 of syslinux.cfg: DEFAULT vesamenu.c32 Note: Reverting to syslinux-4.06 allows for successful booting on the same system.

[syslinux] Dell OptiPlex GX620 can longer boot from CD with syslinux-5.X
We have tried compiling the binaries our self and using the pre-compiled in the syslinux tar ball as well. It just locks up with the text we provided. The problem is booting from CD, booting from USB works. I suspect the problem is in isolinux.bin. The CD only fails on this one machine. It works on everything else we tried. 4.06 worked without any issue on this same machine. Parted Magic has been around for 8 years now and we are quite familiar with syslinux and booting live media. This is an obvious regression and we are willing to do as much testing as required. If you need anything, let us know.
