I tried 2.08-pre1 and timeout command does not seem to be working. This
is exactly what I see.
1. At the prompt I just hit Enter and the default kernel boots fine.
2. At the prompt I type in "defimg" and it boots fine (including the
append option for COM32 images).
3. The appropriate part of my isolinux.cfg is
timeout readker.c32 prep
label defimg
kernel readker.c32
append prep
After the timeout, the machine seems to hang and pressing Alt-Ctrl-Del
has not effect. Only solution is to hit the reset button on the machine.
Is the timeoutcmd supposed to handle COM32 images as well?
