Hi everyone,
Kevin Tran of Broadcom just identified a very serious bug in PXELINUX
where random parts of the PXE stack would get overwritten by PXELINUX.
As a result, I have release SYSLINUX 2.00-pre9 for testing; if you have
had problems with PXELINUX **PLEASE** test this version. I will try to
make a SYSLINUX 2.00 some time this week if this tests out OK.
I will also hunt for similar bugs in ISOLINUX; it's at least plausible
it has something to do with the Promise BIOS problem...
