Hello Peter & Jeremy,

I've found an ordinary desktop PC (with Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG) that
won't boot off a USB stick created by livecd-tools-024 with syslinux
(tested both versions 3.75 and 3.81).

The boot process drops to the "boot:" prompt with an error message:

  could not find kernel image: linux

The same USB stick boots fine on any other computer I could find.
Does it seem like a syslinux bug?  And if turns out to be a known BIOS
bug, is there a good workaround?
