similar to: pxelinux: unable to boot from local disk

I have seen posts about this problem, but have had trouble finding how/if it was resolved. I am trying to upgrade from syslinux-3.11 to syslinux-3.86 on RHEL5. On 3.86, when it performs a local boot from hard disk, it just keeps looping back into PXE boot again instead of booting from the hard disk.

Hi, I'm trying to install debian-6.0.5-amd64-CD-1.iso from USB memory-stick. The problem is, that Debian-Installer is not able to "Detect and mount CD-ROM" during the installation process.

Hello, are there known issues with some bioses not booting from Superfloppy format? All I get is the Syslinux (c) line and nothing else happens afterwords. Everything works fine if a partition is added to the device. Unfortunately however the target device can not be partitioned. Any hint?

Hello, up to now I have been using plain pxelinux with symbolic links (IP or MAC-Address) to the machine dependent defaults.

Question for people... Has anyone actually tried running PXELINUX on top of Etherboot? There is something in Etherboot 5.1.7 called FREEBSD_PXEEMU, which seems to be a PXE stack subset, in particular it seems to support the following calls: PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO PXENV_UDP_OPEN PXENV_UDP_WRITE PXENV_UDP_READ PXENV_UDP_CLOSE PXENV_UNLOAD_STACK PXENV_UNDI_SHUTDOWN This happens to be pretty
