[manjaro-dev] Fwd: Re: Arch boot problem

[Philip Müller]

If I'm correct we have followed versions of syslinux used for our images:

0.8.7.1:       syslinux 4.07-1
0.8.8pre3:   syslinux 4.07-1
0.8.8rc1:     syslinux 6.02-3
0.8.8rc2:     syslinux 6.02-4

So I can create a new package called syslinux4 we can use for our livecd 
and see what happens.
