FTR, the suggested patch for the SERIAL directive is posted in:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023507.html
There are at least 2 other directives that (should) accept different
types of notations: LOCALBOOT and SYSAPPEND (IPAPPEND).
The usage and interpretation of the different formats for each of these
3 directives are different, so the only thing that they have in common
is that they (should) allow different notations (hex, decimal...).
Please note that all 3 directives have suffer from bugs in the past, in
part related to how their parameters are parsed. Additionally, the
SYSAPPEND directive has also received patches since v.6.03 (but they
are only available in UNofficial git repositories for now).
A review of the parsing code of these 3 directives might be worth, so
to double-check that indeed all valid formats are interpreted
correctly, and maybe some code / reasoning / algorithm could be
borrowed from one directive to the other(s).
Regards,
Ady.
