Hi there,
We had to setup a pxelinux on a new server (windows 2012) and used the
latest release of pxelinux 6.0.2.
Everything went ok on my first client test machine : dell optiplex 740.
Pxe was really fast (vesamenu with large background image was appearing
in less than 3 secondes)
But on different client machine i got different results :
On optiplex 790 (core i5 with intel 82579 nic) and 380 (core 2 duo with
bcm 57xx), it takes 1 minute for the menu to appear.
On optiplex 7010(core i5 92579lm), it is as fast as with optiplex 740.
At the beginning i thought it was because my newer machine were on an
efi bios, but the 7010 is too and i have no problem(i always use legacy
boot).
With pxelinux 4.0.7, everything is running smooth. I think i'll stick
with this version. But i think i'm loosing some interesting features...
Any clue ?
