I'm happy you were able to track it down and fix it.

BTW: Is there any particular reason to run syslinux on unmounted 
filesystem only? (As you mentioned in previous mail.)

I can't see this IMPORTANT fact anywhere in documentation 
(syslinux.doc), moreover it works for me to run 'syslinux /dev/whatever' 
while the device is already mounted read-write.

I believe syslinux only modifies boot sector (after copying 
ldlinux.sys), so it shouldn't cause any problems IMHO.
