[syslinux] crazy isolinux bug?- cmdline truncated only on vaio vgn-n250e

[Douglas McClendon]

Ok, this is crazy, but I have a livedvd I created with fedora-8's

syslinux-3.36-7.fc8

and when I boot under qemu ( -boot d -cdrom /dev/dvd) it boots just
fine, but when I boot it on the actual hardware (vaio vgn-n250e), the
kernel cmdline gets truncated at about the 99th character, causing problems.

The same exact physical livedvd booted on a different box does not get 
truncated.

The stock fedora f8 livecd on the vaio does not get truncated (even when 
I make the cmdline ridiculously long).

I'm pretty sure prior (and probably subsequent) livedvds have not had 
this problem.

Anything I should do to help determine if this is an isolinux, or a 
hardware bug?  I ran memtest86 for a little while and it didn't fail.
