I will test it has soon as I can. For now, I've tried to replace extlinux with
the 3.70-pre17 version but I've lost my partition table. I still don't know if
3.70-pre17 screwed up the partition table or if I did it unfortunatly, or if
the partition table died by it self (disk error). I'm investigating this for
now. Then, I go back to test the swap option.
  Don't worry about my partitions, Acronis Disk Director (free when packaged as
Seagate Tools ;)) can restore them.
  Thanks a lot for having take the time to enable disk swapping! I feel like
this option will make syslinux boot everything that is bootable :)
