I will be very busy until next month. I'll try the latest
snapshot.

I renamed startrom.n12 to pxelinux.0 only for the method decribed to
reproduce the bug, and to have as less as possible changes between the
working tftp-root and the failing one. The first using only microsoft
stuff, and the second using syslinux to build a OS chooser. Of course,
I'm building my production RIS server with better filenames.

I was only reporting this problem, because I not able to submit a patch
to syslinux. As I said yesterday, I found that syslinux v3.75 works like
a charm; this is a acceptable workaround, and using pxechain.com is an
other one.

Thanks to your very detailed post !

Hi Thierry,

Does 3.83-pre9 work for you?
