Does it "Loading......" then reboot? This happens to me sometimes too,
system also runs NT perfectly. I don't know what the fix is, but I seem
to have a reliable combination now. Strangely enough, try looking through
all the help at the syslinux prompt -- not to find anything, just for
some activity. This is not scientifically proven, but sometimes I find
that it works after that -- wasting some time at the prompt. It works
for me with LILO anyway.
