Recently a patch by HPA was added to the elflink branch,
"isolinux: Clear upper half of EDX before using..."
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=870b84dd8714d
dfccc9288025331423efa6d76b7
The patch was then applied to the firmware branch too.
The patch solves an issue introduced by a prior commit "isolinux:
Update LBA in getlinsec loop".
Since the original problematic commit was also originally applied to
the 4.xx branch
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=cb015497a4e43
3ba81a47b28790b325807185617
and being 4.xx still more stable / predictable and more
feature-complete than 6.xx for BIOS systems, I'd like to kindly
request for the patch to be applied to the 4.xx branch too.
TIA,
Ady.
