Bug#394700: Any joy using newer syslinux?

Ummm, did you try the second sarge cd? It is also bootable but it uses what
I think is called "floppy emulation" method of booting. For what I recall
old versions of knoppix also used this, It could be that your machine
doesn't support booting using our new method of booting (same one others
like MS are using on new OS), but they can boot using "floppy emulation",
this used to happen on old computers.
Can you try the second sarge CD to test this?
PS: Steve, can you confirm that current sarge release CDs are still carrying
a "floppy emulation" boot on the second CD?
Regards...
