More testing reveals that -nographic has nothing to do with the problem. The FC6 diskboot.img (which uses SYSLINUX) doesn't boot, even without -nographic: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/images/diskboot.img The FC6 boot.iso (which uses ISOLINUX) boots fine: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/images/boot.iso as does diskboot.img with bios.bin 1.14 or earlier. --Ed
