[syslinux] Memdisk problems again (2.05)......

[Jaspreet oberoi]

Hi... I'm Jaspreet.

I've been having the memdisk memory overlapping problems since 2.04
Its always seen in the compressed images whereas the uncompressed images 
works just fine !!!

It just stops at the error "Ran out of input data".. Even the memdisk 2.05 
dint solve my problem !!! maybe there r still some bugs remaining. !!

My motherboard is Intel 845GEBV2 and i've got 512 DDR (333) ram !!!

Please look into this matter,
Bye,
Jassi.

BTW :- i can arrange to send you the screenshot of the error, if it wud help 
u !! plz let me know where do i send it !!!

>Description:    SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
>                 operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies,
>                 network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.

>                 Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies.
>                 A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard
>                 MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS
>                 filesystem) tools once it has been created; and
>                 requires only a very small DOS or Linux program to

>                 a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
>                 nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
