[syslinux] UEFI IA32 kernel 4.9 x86_64 fail 4.4 OK

[Ady Ady]

FYI,

The following has been reported:

_ OK: Syslinux EFI_IA32 -> x86_64 Linux kernel 4.4.x

_ KO: Syslinux EFI_IA32 -> x86_64 Linux kernel >= 4.9.x

Note: Where Syslinux is failing to boot the kernel, grub2 is OK.


Considering other reports, I am _guessing_ that Syslinux is probably OK 
with kernel 4.8.x too and that the failure starts with kernel 4.9.x.

Please note that this is UEFI IA32 with x86_64 processor / kernels.

Tests were performed on QEMU and on real hardware (e.g. some ATOM-based 
models and similar match use this setup).

It would be helpful if additional users would also test (e.g. qemu / 
OVMF / KVM / others) and report back.

Developers and advance users are especially invited to be involved.
