[syslinux] Time out would not boot from local drive
Peter,
I tried it and still does not work.
I used
ONTIMEOUT local
LABEL local
MENU LABEL LOCAL BOOT
LOCALBOOT 0
then does not matter I use LOCALBOOT 0 or like another posting suggested
.localboot -1
none works.
Also, what does the TIMEOUTROW mean?
If I want to compile the C program what do you use to get menu.c32
extension? I have MS Visual C++ or what do you use? I may be able to debug
the program, what kind of command do you use to get out the PXE so it will
boot from local hard drive? I think it is in the source code, I just need
to know how to compile it to .32 extension
Thanks.

It needs to point to a label; try "ONTIMEOUT localboot" (the label
name
is case sensitive!)

Peter, I checked menu.c32 in the older versions, version 3.00 works, from 3.01 and forward, all does not work. The only bad thing in 3.00, it would not display how many seconds left before time out. Please check into this and fix it. Thanks. Greg "H.

ONTIMEOUT is meant to be a label
Try using LOCALBOOT -1 instead LOCALBOOT 0
That is what I use as my default. Not sure why it has to be that, but it
works for me on 99% of systems.
Do you get a PXE exit message when the menu times out?
