Bug#943845: syslinux-common: error messages with grml boot stick



Package: syslinux-common
Version: 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Today I built myself a USB stick with grml on it (see #943838 for the
problems I had with that).  When booting an old 32-bit laptop with this
stick syslinux threw some error messages before its prompt:

,----
| Undef symbol FAIL: x86_init_fpu
| Failed to load libcom32.c32
| Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32
| boot:
`----

There was supposed to be a nice boot menu, but since vesamenu.c32 failed
to load it was not displayed.  TAB completion at the boot prompt and
actually booting worked, though.

This may be related to #918915, although that bug is already archived.
