Config:

label xen
  kernel mboot.c32
  append xen-dbg-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8.gz noreboot --- vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-xen.gz

label xen2
  kernel oldmboot.c32
  append xen-dbg-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8.gz noreboot --- vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-xen.gz

where oldmboot.c32 is the one by Tim Deegan.

New mboot.c32 seems to swallow the "noreboot" parameter and not pass it to the xen kernel,
because i am getting reboots in spite of specifiying it. Works fine with oldmboot.c32.
Tested with syslinux-3.80-pre1-6-gf2dc4e1.
