Ingo (in cc:) told me:
--begin--
With the version in stretch I was able to boot the Debian and Ubuntu
installers. But not the Centos and SuSE installers:
51M centos7_64/initrd.img
45M ubuntu1804_64/initrd.gz
24M debian9_64/initrd.gz
93M suse15_64/initrd
Here I found a hint, that version 6.03 of syslinux has several issues
affecting both UEFI and PXE:
