[syslinux] After USB boot problems on Gigabyte GA-M55Plus-S3G

I am most interested in seeing: 1) hard-disk-images, 2) hdd and 3) ssd that
are boot-able by syslinux. Syslinux has become extremely important in
making live images, and installation disks (think debian installer). So we
have a use case with hundreds of developers avoiding grub over and over.
But, bringing tons of issues to the table, as all of these installations
are written to cheap USB by the end users, and sometimes proceeded to be
booted off of worst case scenario hardware (think apple).
I vote: "More documentation, less new modules and patches." ie; use case
documentation:
1) PXE booting a [core2duo-toshiba-laptop-satellite ] from another
[core2duo-toshiba-laptop-satellite ]. (anything cheap, easily affordable)
2) Partition , format and create a syslinux based USB , using [syslinux
4.x] on a [sancruz shiester USB], testing on a
[toshiba-core2duo-laptop-satellite ]
3) The same with freebsd and xen
4) New other stuff we don't know about yet.

Moreover the above example illustrates that documentation can also present
results from a scientific control study.
