When I try to boot memtest86+ using syslinux v6.03 (using the procedure described on the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/syslinux#Using_memtest) the boot fails with the error message:

Booting kernel failed: invalid argument

I'm figuring this is a syslinux bug, not a memtest one, since memtest never even starts. But please let me know if I'm incorrect on that count.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Possibly the syslinux.cfg parameters were typoed. It works in the general case, certainly.
