I just released 2.09-pre15; it has a slightly improved E820 memory parser, which I'm hoping will deal with the "incorrect length" BIOS bug some people reported. If you have a machine with this bug, *PLEASE* test out this release, since I really want to release 2.09 this weekend. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Thanks! -hpa
