There are no official binaries for testing yet. Gene is offering to 
build binaries for you to test (and, I would add, to report back with 
feedback).

Regarding KVM, some users reported some problems when testing Syslinux 
6.03, but the result might also depend on how the binary files were 
built (e.g. which versions of gcc and/or nasm).

Just to be clear, are you using official binaries of version 6.03? Or 
are you building your own? If the latter, from which source code, 
exactly?

For those building their own binaries, building 6.03 (and/or current 
git HEAD) has been known to have some issues when building with gcc 5+. 
Also NASM 2.11.6 has some bug and building Syslinux with it will fail, 
so it is recommended to avoid such version.
