isolinux-debug.bin is not for diagnosing issues with *menu.c32.  Let's
start over since your problem statement has a bit of confusion.

1) You never said if you saw tests to get just the core (isolinux.bin
and ldlinux.c32) loaded.  Did you try my simple config?


#syslinux.cfg-begin
DEFAULT linux
PROMPT 1

LABEL linux
  LINUX vmlinuz
  APPEND initrd=myinitrd.cgz my-options
#syslinux.cfg-end


2) If that passes, the core is OK and let's look at loading simple
COM32s like ls.c32.  Does ls.c32 work?

3) If that passes, reading the file system and loading linked
libraries are OK.  Next, from a "boot: " prompt with the simple
config, execute "menu.c32" or "vesamenu.c32"
