[syslinux] Version 5.01 not passing kernel command line args to memtest86+as it can understand

[Leandro Becker]

Hello,

After a diff of Syslinux 5.01 and 4.06, I cannot see changes in files
that do this job. I'd compiled the memtest86+ and starting to think that
maybe the header's binary file of memtest may be saying that it supports
the "new" command line parsing method.

I'll investigate further and reply with my findings...

Thank you for a while.

Leandro

Was (is) this same cfg file working correctly in the same hardware 
when booting it with any variant of Syslinux 4.06 (or with any 
version of Syslinux or of memtest86+)?
