[syslinux] pxe hangs on Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Greetings all I just recently ran into a problem booting pxe on a new model laptop, the Fujitsu P1610. Here is my setup first of all Windows 2000 server (DHCP Server), pointing to pxelinux.0 on my tftp server Windows 2003 (TFTP Server), using tftpd from windows 2003 server Tftpboot folder containing pxelinux.0 (v3.31) and numerous boot images, and menu.c32 Pxelinux.cfg folder containing default Default contains the following: default menu.c32 timeout 100 MENU TITLE SIF Hardware Services (P)reboot e(X)ecution (E)nvironment label 1 menu label Universal Boot Disk kernel memdisk append initrd=universal.img label 2 menu label Barts PE Disc kernel startrom.0 label 3 menu label Dos 6.22 kernel memdisk append initrd=dos622.img label 4 menu label Memtest86 (zOmG Jamie Pop-a-Boner) kernel memtest86 label 5 menu label Linux kernel linux append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 vga=normal devfs=mount,dall rw noapic label 6 menu label Local Hard Disk Boot localboot 0 Ive been using this configuration for about a year with no problems. Ive booted many different models of laptop (dell, fujitsu, Compaq, etc) with no issue. Now all of a sudden this model hangs at "Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default. The nic card is a Marvell Yukon. Marvell Base code 1.10.1.3 (20060516),Yukon PXE Version 5.14.1.3 (20060704), PXE v2.1. In the config file, if I change the first line to "default 1", it boots the first image just fine. It seems like it just cant load the menu. I also tried the vesamenu.c32 and got a different result, that of just a blank screen. Has anyone else had problems loading the menu? Maybe someone has some tricks that can make this work? BY the way, thank you so much for doing all of this PXE has made my life 100x easier. -Matt Barbieri ****************IMPORTANT--PLEASE READ******************* This electronic message, including its attachments, is COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL and may contain PROPRIETARY or LEGALLY PRIVILEGED information.
