Which version of isolinux do you use? Could you give the exact output of isolinux?
Does it boot any images?

Is that 'append'-line really on two lines? Syslinux can't deal with line continuations,
so write this in one line, without the backslash. This goes for all other
'label'-sections.

You could also look into the kernel output, this should give you the append line
from above, with '\' as the last character, missing the 'ramdisk_size=nnn' parameter.

Josef
