A recent thread in the Syslinux ML starting at
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2013-November/021139.html
ended up with a patch for Syslinux 5.xx
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=870b84dd8714d
dfccc9288025331423efa6d76b7
and more importantly for Syslinux 6.xx (firmware brach):
http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/
firmware
which already contains some additional patches after 6.02.
Please report back if this solves (or not) the problems in those
systems.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Ady.
