Syslinux - Nov 2014 - Sysylinux-6.03 freezes at Loading kernel..., works smooth with 4.06 via SD-CARD

Hi,
In the Bios folder inside mbr, there are different types of mbr_c.bin
mbr_f.bin as well as mbr.bin, is there a description available which tells
which mbr is to be used in which case? please point me to the description
or kindly explain.

while installing syslinux on my device (usb, sd-card) i can use the
arguments '-H' and '-S' to specify heads and sectors, these
should be the
values which i get from my USB/SD-card ?
What should happen if I do not specify these values?


Thanks in advance.

FWIW, it takes less than a minute in a web search to find:
 http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Mbr 

Alternatively, you could see the table at:
 http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Isohybrid#MBR_selection 

Regarding the (optional) -H -S (both uppercase) parameters, the info is 
also in the wiki and in the Syslinux official archives (e.g. 
./bios/txt/html/syslinux.html).

Unfortunately, not all the documentation is fully up-to-date (not even 
in some of the html docs).

Example:
 --heads=# -H Force number of heads
