This never was an issue so far, AFAIK syslinux also shouldn't
care about upper case vs. lower case, so I'm wondering why this
happens to you but no one else (so far).
Are you using grml2usb directly from the grml64-full_2013.02 ISO
with the syslinux version shipped with grml64-full_2013.02?

(I'm happy to adjust the timeout setting accordingly, but I'd like
to understand what's going on.)

Thanks!
