Hi,

Le 18/06/2020 ? 22:24, Tom Huibregtse via Syslinux a
?crit?:
> I am a UEFI/BIOS developer. We UEFI PXE boot dozens of times per night. We
have run into this error more than a couple of times. We have also done
thousands of UEFI PXE boots with debug statements to prove that the patch works.

As far as I can tell, the development of Syslinux has stalled since more
than one year as shows the log of the git repository. And if I remember
well many very old patches are still in the waiting list.

If you don't want to continue maintaining your patches, either fork
syslinux (good luck) or more realistically if possible move to an active
project. GRUB comes to mind.

Sorry not to give a more relevant answer.

Have a good day,

Didier
