Hello, I work with clusters at IBM. We use pxelinux to network boot dos images to do flash updates on our machines. We are having an issue with our machines: x336 (intel based) x346 (intel based) and HS20 (intel based blade) The problem is that if we choose to boot from the local disk in pxelinux, the machine hangs. The interesting thing is that this problem does not present itself when using pxelinux 2.13 or less, but does with 3.00 and higher. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Anvin, I have noticed that PXELINUX release 3.10 has fixed this issue. Is this something you did explicitly, or was it by chance? Out of curiosity, what was the fix?
