[syslinux] pxelinux vesamenu.c32/menu.c32 localboot freeze
Hello, we encounter problems with pxelinux in combination with menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 on various computers. We are using syslinux 3.71 with the following configuration: ---------------------------------------------------------- default vesamenu.c32 timeout 30 label hd menu label Boot from local disk localboot 0x80 label net menu label Boot from network kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz ---------------------------------------------------------- The network boot works, but when selecting "boot from local disk" the system freezes displaying the message "booting from local disk". On the same machines the following config works fine: ---------------------------------------------------------- default hd label hd localboot 0x80 ---------------------------------------------------------- -- Jan Schneider uib gmbh Bonifaziusplatz 1B 55118 Mainz Tel. 06131 / 27561-20 Fax 06131 / 27561-22 E-Mail: j.schneider at uib.de Internet: www.uib.de Gesch?ftsf?hrer: dr. detlef oertel Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Mainz HRB 6942

You want "localboot 0". -hpa
