[syslinux] Syslinux/2.6.0

[G. Lance DIXON]

Hello, I am trying to get a 2.6.0-test2 kernel to boot from a Syslinux 
floppy. I am currently running a 2.4.0 booting from a floppy just fine. 
As all other parametres except the kernel version remain the same I 
formatted a nex floppy (Kformat), ran syslinux /dev/fd0,  copied 
vmlinuz-2.6.0-test2 to the floppy and renamed it vmlinuz, Copied the 
linboot.img and syslinux.cfg from my 2.4.0 floppy to the 2.6.0-test2 
floppy and tried to reboot.
The procedure hangs at the following message:
Decompressing the kernel.........OK booting the kernel.
Some details. Originally a Knoppix HD-install = 2.4.0-xfs + initrd + 
cramfs. Changed to a Debian 2.4.0.(current kernel). New 2.6.0-test2 
promised improved USB modem support.
Installation is on hdc2 i.e. 2nd partition of 2nd IDE HD.
2.6.0-test2 HAS been compiled as ext2 fs + initrd. I belive cramfs is 
now automatically built-in.
Here is the .cfg file:
  default knoppix
prompt 1
timeout 50
label knoppix
   kernel vmlinuz
   append root=/dev/hdc2 ro vga=791 apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi 
hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce
All helpful comments and suggestions welcome.
