[syslinux] PXELinux 2.00 doesn't timeout on one of my systems
We have four NEC 140rb-4 systems (P4-Xeon quad-proc system, identical to the Intel SRSH4). They are all running the latest BIOS (v3) and firmware, which sadly includes Intel PXE 4.0.19 from v1 onwards. At least two of the systems work just fine, net-booting when there's a machine-specific config file (e.g. AC140510) or loading the "default" file, which is: SERIAL 0 38400 PROMPT 1 TIMEOUT 50 DEFAULT local LABEL local LOCALBOOT 0 and then timing out and booting from the local HDD. One of them, however, refuses to timeout, so it stops and sits there waiting for a keypress every time you reboot it. It does the same thing with 1.76, and significantly earlier versions simply crash on all four systems. Anyone else run into this? Otherwise, PXELinux has been serving us well for a good while.
