Hi,

Yes, syslinux no longer works, every files will have a
length of zero and the floppy can not boot. However if
run df it still report that the floppy is occupied
some bytes exactly equal to the size of the file I
copied onto floppy. ls shows every file has zero.

What can I do ?

2.4.15 eats files. DON'T USE IT.
