Hello SysLinux Team, I have recently installed version 5.0of SysLinuxwhat may be I should not have done so. Now my problem is, that everytime I start via PXE (gpxe) I only get the boot: prompt and not the menu as expected (all was working fine with previous versions incl 4.06) In the server log I can see atftpd serving some files to the workstation but not as before where it tried to find the right 'default' file (syslinux.cfg) in the way: .../gpxelinux.0 .../pxelinux.cfg/<mac-address> .../pxelinux.cfg/<guid> .../pxelinux.cfg/<mac-address formatted> .../pxelinux.cfg/<ip-address 0x[0..7]> .../pxelinux.cfg/<ip-address0x[0..6]> .../pxelinux.cfg/<ip-address 0x[0..5]> ... .../pxelinux.cfg/<ip-address 0x[0]> .../pxelinux.cfg/default .../menu.c32 ... it now stops searching after the first mac-address: .../gpxelinux.0 .../ldlinux.c32 .../pxelinux.cfg/<mac-address> ... So what I am doing wrong? It is verybad that the new dependencies between modules andlibfiles aren't described or aren't described in a better way. But here it must be something else.If I then start the menu from the boot prompt all behaves like it should. Best regards

Can you please describe your pxelinux.cfg/ layout more fully and provide the necessary config files?
