Yes, all components have been from 3.84 when I've tested vesamenu.c32,
not that it ever got as far as loading memdisk, either a blank screen
(GX280) or failure to load default (VMWare). Switching to menu.c32 fixes
the problem every time.

When I've been testing 3.6x I have used memdisk from 3.84 because I need
the recently added ISO support and pxelinux.0/menu.c32 from the tested
version.

We have 17 different PC models and as far as I can see only GX280 has
problems with 3.62-pre7 (and later versions), which is a strong
indicator that the problem is BIOS and/or model related.

Cheers,
