[syslinux] gpxelinux.0 (and maybe pxelinux.0) broken since 51f563a2e52d1e2668e7b7a3d480c4f1e4b89d97
Hello, I'm trying to boot with a git snapshot using gpxelinux.0 When using 3.73 everything is fine. When using 3.74pre1 and later I've got the following behavior : The boot process is stopped just after displaying this line : PXELINUX 3.74 pre1-7-gb83eb9f Copyright (c) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin I can reproduce the problem under vmware server 1.0, and also on a server. After testing several snapshots, it looks like the following commit broke gpxelinux.0 : "pxelinux: clean up and correct the entry point search" 51f563a2e52d1e2668e7b7a3d480c4f1e4b89d97 http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=51f563a2e52d1e2668e7b7a3d480c4f1e4b89d97 Best regards, Constantin
