syslinux 5 (extlinux) - unbatable system

[alonbl]

Hi,

I cannot make syslinux 5 work... it seems that it does not load the initramfs image, it does load the kernel.

I upgraded the /boot using extlinux --update /boot, I even recreated the boot filesystem.

I could not find any documentation nor changes, except that the ldlinux.sys was split into two, but I do have the ldlinux.c32.

The vesamenu.c32 works after I install the dependencies.

So something was changed in the way extlinux is working.

Downgrading to syslinux-4.06 works correctly, so it is not extliux.conf issue, nor kernel/initramfs issue.

What I do have is very long kernel arguments, maybe this is related somehow... not sure.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Alon
