[syslinux] Gigabyte motherboards and Syslinux

[Rodney Beede]

I read the mailing list archive about Gigabyte motherboards not working 
with USB booting ("[syslinux] Gigabyte recent bios & syslinux extlinux 
trow USB-IDE bridges or pendrives", 16 Aug 2006).

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard that I tried to boot in 
USB-HDD mode with a PNY boot pen.  I installed System Rescue CD on it.

It would appear that Gigabyte still doesn't support booting from USB 
with Syslinux.  I did boot BartPE (Windows based boot loader) from the 
same usb key without issues on the board.  There are no bios updates for 
my motherboard.


My question:  Has anyone successfully booted from a USB key chain drive 
with Syslinux and a Gigabyte motherboard?
