I'm just guessing, so could easily be wrong, but, one thing I find that one
has to always bear in mind with the syslinux family is that some things want
to work with 8.3 format filenames. It might be worth a shot to give the
secondary menu such a filename (say othrmenu.cfg.) It may not be required by
that, and I know some things are able to use proper long filenames, but, it
seems worth a try anyway, right?
