I am not loading it again, I am loading it for the first time. 
ifcpu64.c32 gets executed immediately, calling the respective label and 
then executing vesamenu.c32 for the first time.

I tested with 5.02pre3 and 5.02pre1. Both don't show the issue mentioned 
above.

As far as I remember I ran into this issue with 5.01 thus I decided to 
try 5.02pre1 and later moved to 5.02pre3. Both without problems. The 
release announcement for 5.10pre1 said that besides the merge of lwip 
and "a single commit to fixup the -DDEBUG=2 build" there were no changes 
between 5.02pre3 and 5.10pre1. So in expectation of 5.10 being the next 
5.x release I thought it would be best to go with 5.10preX.

Is there something fundamentally not recommended about this config? I 
want to switch as early as possible according to CPU features. Of course 
I could change the config to first load vesamenu.cfg and then jump to 
invisible labels within this config file according to CPU features.

Mattias
