Hi,

I'm missing something in my isolinux.cfg configuration but I'm not quite
sure what it is. menu.c32 displays properly over video console, but on the
serial connection, the first letter of the labels are duplicated, and the
margin is pushed off towards the right:

my config is:

--- cut ---

   1. serial 0 115200
   2. console 0
   3.
   4. menu color screen 0;0
   5. menu color border 0;0

   38. label memtest86
   39.   menu label ^Memory test
   40.   kernel memtest
   41.   append -

--- /cut ---

Is there anything I can do to get the menu displayed properly over serial
console?

regards,
Marc
