[syslinux] Help Memdisk + Pxelinux hangs

[Eileen.Mcnaughton at alcatel-lucent.co.nz]

OK,

Back to that Unix Newbie thing I mentioned - how do I tell the version...

Ian sent it to me so I didn't download it.

In the download of the 3.52-pre4 version - there is a file called 
'memdisk' - is that a compiled file - can I just copy it across?

This is a regression, though, which makes me concerned.

Could you try syslinux 3.52-pre4 and see if it works?  Also, what is the
older version that you say works?
