[syslinux] [BISECT] gpxelinux.0 stalls at Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/.....
While trying out gpxelinux.0, I realized that it didn't work in the latest release candidate. This is what happens: This is a screenshot from a VM: http://bsfh.ath.cx/gpxe.png It hangs there for a long time. I tried in two configurations: 1) Qemu KVM with tap networking, ISC dhcpd and tftp from iputils on the host. 2) Desktop, dnsmasq from OpenWRT as dhcp/tftp server. The only difference on the desktop was that all the zeroes there are replaced with what looks like a real unique ID. On both desktop and VM, it would continue booting after waiting for a long time, but I don't know if that is reproducible (I saw it a few times, wasn't always as patient). Anyway, I bisected it and this is what turned up: 68ac3bd7646f38a61acf798ef48b9cc3e0d5c8e8 is the first bad commit commit 68ac3bd7646f38a61acf798ef48b9cc3e0d5c8e8 Author: H.
