Bug#833057: extlinux: cannot boot from ext4 filesystems with 64bit feature enabled

[Lukas Schwaighofer <lukas@schwaighofer.name>]

Control: retitle -1 extlinux: cannot boot from ext4 filesystems with 64bit feature enabled
Control: tags -1 - moreinfo + confirmed upstream

Hi,

thanks for reporting and working on this issue.  I'm certain the
experienced problem is due to the 64bit feature in ext4, which is set by
default when using `mkfs.ext4` since Debian stretch but not yet
supported by syslinux (as Peter has already pointed out).  I'm adjusting
the bug accordingly.

There is also good news:  Upstream pushed a fix for this problem
yesterday [1], I will test the fix and prepare a new Debian version
soon.

Regards
Lukas
