[syslinux] memdisk: image has a fractional end sector -> hangs

[Giulio Orsero]

syslinux-3.0.7

Cannot boot memdisk+harddisk image.

1) mkdiskimage -d image.dsk 10 64 32     (I get a 10485888 bytes file)
2) start dosemu+freedos with image.dsk loaded as d: and do
sys d:
then copy some files to d:
3) reboot dosemu using image.dsk as c: to verify it's bootable, and it is
C:\>ver
FreeCom version 0.82 pl 3 XMS_Swap [Mar 06 2004 10:49:37]
C:\>

4) isolinux.cfg:

label 999
        kernel memdisk
        append initrd=image.dsk harddisk c=10 h=64 s=32

5) Booting the iso gives the following error (note that this is copied from
vmware, but booting a real PC produces the very same error, even if I cannot
guarantee for all the numbers to be the same)

Ramdisk at 0x005df000, length 0x00a00080
command line: initrd=image.dsk harddisk c=10 h=64 s=32 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk

Is this supposed to work or I made some mistakes?

Thanks
