[syslinux] syslinux boot fails with 2.4.18 but works with 2.2.22

[Julian Picht]

I try to make a floppy disk for replaying a disk image to a harddrive. The
image is on our server and is only accessable by nfs because its bigger than
2 gig so it is not possible to store it temporarily on the computer. So I
created a floppy disk with syslinux 2.00, busybox 0.60.5 and uClibc 0.9.16.
Using a 2.2.22 kernel (with nfs and all build in) all worked but busybox,
cause uClibc won't compile with the 2.2.22 header files so I chose the
2.4.18 (which is shipped with my slackware 8.1, but I had to recompile cause
it was to big). But when I try to boot the disk with this new kernel
(everything else is the same) it does not boot after the message
"uncompressing kernel... OK" it does not boot the kernel it just hangs.
Could this be a problem with syslinux or is this a kernel only problem?

Any help would be appreciated...
