In generic_open_config (at core/fs/lib/loadconfig.c), there is a string
that contains the paths "/boot/syslinux", "/syslinux" and "/" - so I'd
say that Syslinux won't be able to open your configure file from the path
"/boot/extlinux".

Is there any reason to not support it anymore ? Or am I missing something
here and it should have not ever be supported before ?
