I have a Dell 1435 system that will not respond correctly to a com32 call to Local boot Int 22h AX=14h DX = 0 This call should not return. It should unload the PXE+UNDI stacks and continue the boot process with the next boot device. This call is working fine for me on an HP DL360G2 and on a Dell PE 850. But, on this Dell 1435 the call is returning from the Int 22h. I am using syslinux 3.51

...foo.c32 APPEND some arguments LABEL localboot localboot 0 Restated, if foo.c32 returns then I can type in 'localboot' at the boot: prompt and the sytem will boot properly. I would like foo.c32 to localboot. I am using the following code to try to localboot: void syslinux_localboot(int localboottype) { static com32sys_t regs; memset(&regs, 0, sizeof regs); regs.eax.w[0] = 0x0014; regs.edx.w[0] = (unsigned short) localboottype; __intcall(0x22, &regs, NULL); printf("Why did I come back?\n"); syslinux_sleep(5); exit(0); } I am observing that it returns from the...

...It seems that there is a buck in syslinux 3.86 (or still is in the current build) in the reset_pxe function. If I call "syslinux_local_boot(0)" (in a COM32 binary) the KeepPXE variable is always 1 which resets the PXE stack instead of unloading it: local_boot: push cs pop ds mov [LocalBootType],ax call vgaclearmode mov si,localboot_msg call writestr_early ; Restore the environment we were called with call reset_pxe . reset_pxe: or byte [KeepPXE],1 ; Fall through unload_pxe: push ds push es mov ax,cs mov ds,ax mov es,ax cmp byte [KeepPXE],0 ; Should we keep P...

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9. Unless anyone has any concerns these will make it into Syslinux 5.00-pre10. Matt Fleming (9): pxe: Don't call open_config() from the pxe core ldlinux: Print a warning if no config file is found
