Syslinux - Apr 2011 - syslinux-4.04-pre22 gpxelinux.0 and chain.c32

Hi,

I just tried on a HP ProLiant DL380 G4 to to chain boot the local disk 
from network.

File in pxelinux.cfg:

default Menu
prompt 0

SERIAL 0 57600

MENU TITLE GPXELinux Test

label Menu
   MENU hide
   kernel http://172.20.36.3/pxe/tools.404/menu.c32

label diskinfo
   MENU LABEL Display Diskinfo from bios
   MENU DEFAULT
   kernel http://172.20.36.3/pxe/tools.404/disk.c32

label harddisk0
   MENU LABEL Festplatte (chain.c32)
   COM32 http://172.20.36.3/pxe/tools.404/chain.c32
   APPEND hd0


Diskinfo displays that there is a drive 0x80.

But trying to boot from it with chain.c32 does not work. Before you ask, 
yes, it works with pxelinux.0.

Which dumps can I send so that you can take a closer look at it?

Thanks Thomas

Does "localboot 0" or "localboot -1" work?

Does syslinux-4.04-pre17 work?
