[syslinux] pxelinux 3.07 simple menu fails in sis900 PXE client
Hi, I have a pxe server running pxelinux 3.0.7, and a PXE client with SIS900 BootRom V1.09 (Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0, build-082). I configed pxelinux as simple menu, i.e. put "default menu.c32" in my pxelinux.cfg/default. But when SIS900 client boots, it hang in -------------------------------- Trying to load : pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-76-e2-62-2f Trying to load : pxelinux.cfg/C0A8A803 .... .... Trying to load : pxelinux.cfg/default . <- stop here ------------- I also tried pxelinux 3.08 pre8, same error. As for the same pxelinux.cfg/default, it works for e100, rtl8139, pcnet32. Does anyone has the same problem with sis900 (this annoying chip!) ? Thanks. -- Steven Shiau

While it would not reliably dowload pxelinux, it would download the smaller Etherboot rom. I imagine that a bios upgrade might fix it, but I have not tried. Tim
