[Bug 1384960] [NEW] isolinux doesn't recognize shift key and skips boot prompt

[Ameya Palande]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Release: 14.10 Utopic (64bit)
syslinux version: 6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1

If I press "Left Shift" key while booting from Live DVD, then isolinux
doesn't present the "boot:" prompt and wait at it.

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64bit) I am able to get to the "boot:" prompt by pressing "Left Shift" key.
syslinux package version in 14.04 LTS is: 4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1
