reassign 587726 syslinux
tags 587726 + patch
thanks
Alright, I've finally got it to work. It's a bug in
syslinux-themes-debian-squeeze, but since this package isnÄt in Debian
yet, I'll reassign it to syslinux for your convenience. ;)
Please find a patch and rationale attached.

Subject: [PATCH] Start memtest image via linux (Closes: #587726 ).
Syslinux tries to estimate the kernel image file type by its file
extension if started via the "kernel" command. It falls back to
"Bootstrap program" for images with a ".bin" file extension.
Since this is wrong for memtest86+.bin images, which are compatible
with linux kernel images, booting them will fail. Overriding the
estimation by explicit calling them via the "linux" command makes
them boot properly.
