PLoP doesn't detect my partitions correctly

Syslinux 4.00-pre47 and PLoP 5.0.11-test.

It seems that I was a bit wrong. PLoP doesn't chainload my Syslinux Partition correctly:

1. Boot USB stick with Syslinux
2. ifplop.c32 will boot plpbt.bin (no PLoP INT13 active)
3. Select the partition of USB stick and boot it (not the USB option) in PLoP (PLoP INT13 not active)
4. PLoP tries to boot the partition, but it fails
Loading plpbt.bin ..... ready ==> this is from the first launch of plpbt.bin
_ ==> hanging cursor


PLoP only shows 2 partitions on that drive, while there are 3:
- 1 primary
- 2 logical
I am trying to boot the first logical partiiton.
Maybe PLoP is trying to boot the extended partition instead.

the boot manager does not show the logical partitions of an extended partition. when you want to boot from an logical partition, then you have to configure a profile to do that.
