Hi,

Using makebootfat with syslinux 3.35 files seems to break COMBOOT and COM32
support. The error I get is "Invalid or corrupt kernel image".

The problem is quite easy to verify. Make syslinux.cfg look something like:

default boot
prompt 0
LABEL boot
  KERNEL chain.c32
  APPEND hd0

Then makebootfat and make sure you copy chain.c32 into root with "-c". With
syslinux V3.31, it works fine (boot 1st hdd). With syslinux V3.35, it displays
an error message.

The same is true for menu.c32, vesamenu.c32 and sbm.cbt (COMBOOT module for
Smart Boot Manager). All three works under syslinux 3.31, but not 3.35 when used
in conjunction with either makebootfat 1.4 or makebootfat V1.5 (beta).

Should I file this as a bug?

Regards.
