That's because your syslinux.cfg is "wrong", but the behavior just 
proves that SYSLINUX is indeed booting.

# ***syslinux.cfg***
DEFAULT mylabel
LABEL mylabel
LINUX vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.gz
# ******************

So the system is bootable, and the others (those old P4) will be too. 
>From now on, it is about what additional "append" parameters you 
want/need or about configuring whatever Debian wants/needs on each 
system. That's for Debian (and its community) to support (hint: the cfg 
files in the ISO image should give you a first clue, and they can 
probably be used almost as-is).
