[syslinux] pxelinux takes too long trying all the config file options
Delays like this sound like a network related issue. If you're using dnsmasq for tftp and dns, can you post its configuration file on the server and your pxelinux related configuration file?

It seems to take FOREVER for pxelinux to try all of the config file file options before falling through to default .... trying each possible combination multiple times ... increasing the wait time everytime it doesn't get a response.>From my log:Apr 2 19:53:17 helium tftpd[3372124]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 Apr 2 19:54:54 helium tftpd[3372133]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 Apr 2 19:54:54 helium tftpd[3372135]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 Apr 2 19:54:54 helium tftpd[3372137]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/ldlinux.c32 Apr 2 19:54:54 helium tftpd[3372139]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/44454c4c-4700-104d-805a-cac04f5a4c32 Apr 2 19:54:54 helium tftpd[3372143]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/44454c4c-4700-104d-805a-cac04f5a4c32 ......

It's been a while since I played with this stuff but it never took that long to fall through to default before. How can I fix this?? Is there some option I can use to speed this up??
