Ok. After doing some research it appears that windows/dos line feeds were added to both leaf.cfg and syslinux.cfg when the files were uploaded from the router to the windows system. The program used for this was winscp400. I was able to remove them with a windows editor called edit pad lite that has a feature that allows the file to be converted from windows cr/lf to Unix lf only. The files were only uploaded never edited on the windows system so I don't see how the files got changed.
So this is something I will be aware of in the future Ken Martin Hejl wrote: > Hi Ken, > > >>I found the problem and the cause. > > I'm glad you found the problem. > > >>The reason that I found was that every line in the leaf.cfg file had a >>period appended to it which caused several problems when rebooting the >>system.
