Syslinux - Apr 2014 - SYSLINUX PXE LOCALBOOT Bitlockers

Label is OS and I believe there are all booting MBR. Is there a way to clear the
memory then continue loading ? or rebooting the machine from the menu.

I have tried that reboot.c32 and cannot get it to reboot the machine.

What does your LABEL look like?  Are you booting the MBR or VBR?

No, the entire LABEL stanza including its LOCALBOOT/COM32/KERNEL and
APPEND lines as applicable.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text,
especially the archives of mailing lists.
Q: Why is Top-posting such a bad thing?

Any deviation from the expected boot process will prevent BitLocker from
accessing the volume key in the TPM. One reason this behavior exists is to
prevent malicious code from being loaded (such as via booting first to CD / USB
/ PXE, loading malware, and then continuing to boot to Windows). So what's
happening here is the deviation from firmware -> PXE -> HDD is detected
and the volume key is not released.
There is no circumventing this behavior.
