Sorry this is bringing up an old post...

I had the same problem with v5.01 and v6.01, in that after upgrading from
syslinux/pxelinux 4.05 I found that I couldn't load memtest+ 4.20 (or normal
'memtest').

I have tried syslinux-6.02-pre16.zip (05-Aug-2013 10:42) and this worked as I
expected it to.

This was with pxelinux on a Dell Optiplex 755, using the menu item 'linux
memtestp420a.bin'

I signed up to the list, simply to share this information and to say thanks!

Many Thanks
Andrew
