What happens if you boot from the CLI (escape out of the menu system and
type a label name)?

Wow.. that worked fine ;) both accepting the password for the main menu (to use escape) and to load the sub menu... even though the submenu did not ask for a password but I am guessing that is normal as I had put in the master p/w

Also, make sure you're running the latest Syslinux version (3.72 or
3.73-pre1); you didn't specify so I don't know for sure.

Using 3.72 , will grab 7.73-pre2 shortly and test using that
