Syslinux - Oct 2013 - Syslinux 6.02 BIOS - issue on physical devices

Hello

My name is Marcin, I am pleased to write here ; -) a have some problems
with syslinux. I hope that you will help.

On my company we use the syslinux from a long time. Now we use the
sys(pxe)linux 4.06 and working very well.

Yesterday i starting collect the needed files for syslinux 6.02 BIOS on
virtualbox 4.3.
I test everything, memtest, Windows PE, ubuntu etc.. everything works well.

I moved all files to physically device HP Proliant with Windows Server 2008.
All configuration is not changed. Only the "Open TFTP" root folder has
other location.

I checked the new sys(pxe)linux on HP dv7 / HP m6 notebooks. The menu is
working fine the splash screen displayed but I can't boot any option
successfully. When option is selected the kernel / initrd is loading but
after download last file the notebook is restarting itself.

What is wrong? Do the syslinux now required special DHCP options, TFTP?

Thanks

I don't know. It could be the BIOS on this particular server.
Try another physical server that has at least another BIOS version.

No, not required. However you can use them for tweaking.

Hi

Thanks for confirmation about syslinux 6.02 requirements.
I see small misunderstanding. A used word "Syslinux 6.02 BIOS" mean
the
respective syslinux binary files from "/bios" subdirectory for
PC's with
Legacy PXE or PC's with PXE where CSM mode is enabled.

Some idea where is the issue?
Do the syslinux 6.02 working well from PXE on multiple PC's in your place?
