Unfortunately the problem is still the same. indeed; only the first part of the patch was attached; here's the complete one. I can confirm that this patch works now. Thanks. That said, if the intention is not to have syslinux 5.0 in wheezy, I can understand adsb's concern, if the initial 7.0 release will use 5.01 and point releases later on syslinux from wheezy, i.e. 4.05. That sounds like an unwise thing to do. But then, I'm neither a member of the release team nor the installer team, so I best shut up at this point.

I have to correct myself: While the bootloader now does show up (when trying an installation in VBOX), and I no longer get the error message about the missing ldlinux.c32 file, it hangs after selecting the Install option. The screen just stays black. This didn't happen with syslinux 4.
