[syslinux] PXE, Intel, and FC4 problems

I actually did all that (several times, I learned that the initrd 
changed from the ext2 image to a cpio archive after FC2). The 
modules.cgz has op hex codes for the cards based (I think) on the card 
revision. I tried using the one that was included in FC4 and the one 
that was included with FC6, but neither worked.

Without getting into serious hardware specs, I have no idea how to get 
the information for the op code I need for the correct entry in the 
modules.cgz file for that rev of the card.
