Syslinux - Feb 2009 - gpxelinux.0 (and maybe pxelinux.0) broken since 51f563a2e52d1e2668e7b7a3d480c4f1e4b89d97

Hello,

I'm trying to boot with a git snapshot using gpxelinux.0

When using 3.73 everything is fine.
When using 3.74pre1 and later I've got the following behavior :

The boot process is stopped just after displaying this line :

PXELINUX 3.74 pre1-7-gb83eb9f  Copyright (c) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin


I can reproduce the problem under vmware server 1.0, and also on a server.

After testing several snapshots, it looks like the following commit 
broke gpxelinux.0 :

"pxelinux: clean up and correct the entry point search"

Hm... any way I could get you to try plain pxelinux.0 as well?

I just tried again with the last snapshot and now it works fine for me.

I was using NASM version 0.98.39 too (old fedora).
