Hi,
I am using syslinux-4.00-pre24, -pre27 and -pre31. chain.c32 fails for pre27 and pre31 for particular configs ... shown below.

1) works on pre24, fails with error message "Chainboot failed!" for pre27 and pre31

 LABEL  local
        MENU DEFAULT
        MENU LABEL Local Boot ... (skip PXE boot)
        KERNEL chain.c32
        APPEND hd0 0

2) works on all three.

 LABEL  local
        MENU DEFAULT
        MENU LABEL Local Boot ... (skip PXE boot)
        LOCALBOOT 0
        APPEND -


*** The reason I started using the "chain.c32 and the hd0 0" thing was that "localboot 0" was not working initially (don't remember which version, some 3.8x)

Regards,
Shantanu
