A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?


0_ Please avoid top-posting.

1_ Beware: YOCTO/OE uses a customized Syslinux.

2_ It is still not clear (to me) when exactly the failure occurs. Does 
it fail before the bootloader? Is the bootloader itself failing? Is the 
_kernel_ not loading, after the bootloader step got already to the boot 
prompt?

3_ Perhaps it would help if you would post your entire syslinux.cfg.

4_ Someone might be interested in knowing the exact complete command 
line that you are using in qemu (so the situation could be replicated 
by others, maybe).

5_ You could also test with a publicly-available kernel that is known 
to boot correctly.
