Hi,

I just compiled syslinux 1.74 and i tried to do a syslinux /dev/sdc, but 
it doesn't seem to work. The old syslinux that comes with redhat (1.52) 
seems to do the job though. Basically, I plug the usb disk in, mkdosfs 
-I /dev/sdc, syslinux /dev/sdc. Then I take it to another computer, and 
it says nothing but "boot failed". Am I doing something wrong here? Is 
it related to the problem noted above?
