[syslinux] Illegal OpCode

[Denie Andriessen]

Could it be it's not a real x86 compatible machine?

Had some problem with a HPZ800 trying to run memtest86+,

Got a reply from that list (about memtest)
"" Memtest86+ only works with "PC compatible" computer on an "x86 
architecture".

Even if the hardware is the same, some rare computers are not strictly
"PC Compatible" because they didn't follow the established standards
and relies on proprietary protocols.

HP Z-Series Workstations, IBM HS22/38xx servers and Apple computers are 
concerned."

Cheers,
