Is there any reason why the keyboard poll routine (int 16h) in conio.inc checks
fro a serial port.
when pxelinux.0 is run under a vm - the keyboard does not register.
which makes menus useless.
Also the timer is broken.

The keyboard just does not work at the pxelinux prompt.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The problem is not in conio.inc, this "bug/feature" introduced in syslinux 2.08, however version 2.07 that not exposes the problem has same pollchar routine than 2.08. P.S.: I've tried vmware with and without serial... I'm still looking at the diffs 2.07->2.08 to try to track the problem, and if it's really a wmware bug, a workaround could be made, It' more easy to test pxelinux under vmware so I think this should be considered.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The problem seams to be in check_for_arp, disabling it pxelinux works correctly in vmware.
