[syslinux] Still interested in pre-compiled binaries for 6.03-pre6
Most excellent! The pre-compiled syslinux6.03-pre6 binaries work great! I'm able to load syslinux.efi and all necessary support libs. I get my expected syslinux boot menu. I've used syslinux 5 / vesamenu for yrs (Legacy PXE boots). So I know my way around from here. Thanks Gene & Feri. And thanks Peter, for making me feel better -- it's the TFTP protocol that's bizarre, I wasn't going crazy. I'm curious. How the heck does one debug this?!? My screen was stuck on: Loading cached packet My IP is 192.168.0.52 when using 6.02 pre-compiled binaries. Wireshark was some help, not a ton. In efimain(), I could do a Print(L"debugging printf"); and it would show on screen. But in any subroutine, the EFI API wasn't in scope, so couldn't do a Print(L...). I saw dprintf and ddprintf peppered throughout. I saw mk/develop.mk in 6.03-pre6 had some compile flags that looked like it should turn those dprintf's on, but I never saw it.
