It seems I spoke too soon; one of the changes in SYSLINUX 2.03-pre1 triggered a long-standing bug of mine which causes lockups under some pretty trivial circumstances. Consequently, I have released SYSLINUX 2.03-pre2. Again, if you have had problems with PXELINUX, please try this version. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa
