Documentation of syslinux say:
"In the configuration file blank lines and comment lines beginning
with a hash mark (#) are ignored."
Knoppix using a unmodified syslinux from debian, docu tell me
there are 2 possible ways.
a.) append line is to long.
b.) syslinux.conf is missconfigured.
it helps, if you attach your syslinux.conf

I co the boot.img from Oct. 2002, compared it with syslinux.orig.tar.gz from
debian, rewrite syslinux.conf to support other keymaps, fonts, language
and wm as my own defaults. Everything works fine. Testsys runns syslinux 1.76
from debian, based on a clean and free woody. Newer Packages ex. from unstable
are backported to woody.
