It does not start with a #, it ends in hashes. Now could you please take a
look at the (default) syslinux.cfg in Knoppix, as seen in version
2003-01-01, and then try to answer my question? You seem to think that i
have a config file with hashes at the beginning of the line - or whatever -
but I'm just using the regular Knoppix syslinux.cfg.

The Knoppix syslinux.cfg has a line that says
APPEND=##################################################################
(I think I've said this before. You keep coming back at your "# is a
comment" statement - but that is of no use here).

This one doesn't have the append statement at the end.
I attached the syslinux.cfg from the latest Knoppix.
