I'm fond of using the above with TIMEOUT 100 and vesamenu.c32 so the system just cycles the menus repeatedly awaiting user interaction. However if user interacts, but then don't choose anything for a few minutes, the next time she chooses the pxelinux.0 option it will hang. This occurs on different models of HP ProLiant DL G5. The only way to recover is to hard reset the system. Is this a BIOS bug or something in PXELINUX I can help track down? ../C

Still, it *should* work, obviously. It would be interesting if you can replicate the problem on a non-HP system. -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel.
