I think the hypothesis that there is a missing module is a good guess.

Here's the (very long) line from a more recent bad boot: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: reboot=bios usb_wait=3 console=ttyS0,19200n8 VERBOSE=1 intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1 BOOT_IMAGE=/syslinux/linux initrd=/initrd.lrp,/initmod.lrp rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:vfat So syslinux.cfg is read properly. So ... right after LINUXRC: Looking for leaf.cfg... The bad boot 5.1 has: LINUXRC: Generating default dirs... The good boot 5.0.4 has: LINUXRC: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt as vfat So somehow /dev/sda1 is never mounted, and it does not appear to be a problem with syslinux.cfg. Assuming there is a missing module, how to diagnose and fix? This would be very tedious, but I can make sure that all the modules in modules.lrp of the good boot are in the modules.lrp for 5.1.1RC. Would that work? (I know *.lrp is really *.tar.gz so I can add modules by hand under Linux.) Thanks again.
