Hi,

I've recently did some extensive testing with PXELinux and I must say 
it's great!

I've tested it with several pc's and VMware vm's at home, this works 
flawlessly.

However at my work, we only use MS Virtual PC 2007 and so on.

I've started today to testimplement pxelinux into wds/ris, this seems 
to work but when I want to display a menu eg: default menu.c32, then 
the vm hangs..
The vesamenu.c32 does the same, although it does switch the resolution.

I found another post by someone earlier on the archive, but no real 
solution other than "use VMware" was stated, unfortunately, that is no 
option for me.
Post listed here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-March/008246.html

FYI: I made a small mistake and copied simple.c32 from the latest 
tar.gz/menu and used that to try and display the menu.
However it did not display MY menu because this is probably not used 
for it, it did display A menu, works like a charm! Maybe this gives 
some lead?
O yeah, complex.c32 hangs/crashes to...

Is this fixable? I've tried altering some settings in the BIOS of the 
MS Virtual PC vm (there are very few) but to no avail.

Please help.

Kind regards,

Bart van den Oetelaar
