Сегодня прошло в рассылке syslinux :

Hello all,

i announce you the gfxboot COMBOOT module which is written in 
assembler.
Since i didn't find as much spare time as i have hoped last 
weekend it is
far from complete. Nevertheless the module is able to interact 
with the
bincode ([1] and [2]) in the bootlogo cpio archive from the 
openSUSE 10.2
mini cd. So far it is able to call the bincode gfxboot code and 
setup some
menu entries. Some callbacks (status, open and read) have already 
been
implemented but it is missing a config file parser, so the menu 
entries are
hard coded. This also applies to other parts like some values of 
the 
sysconfig structure.

Отлично. Может быть одним патчем на syslinux станет меньше. Ждём когда 
SuSE не это перейдут.
