[syslinux] Having problems with PXELINUX parsing contents of pxelinux.cfg/AC134D6D

[Sowmya.Krishnaswamy at nokia.com]

Hi,

Adding the DEFAULT helps! Thanks PXELINUX is downloading vmlinuz now. However the tftp server complains saying that its expecting ack for block [n] when its getting back ack for block [n-1]! 

Finally gets an ack for block [n] and moves on but this is going to take a lot longer to download vmlinuz than it would if the sequence numbers in ACK was synchronised.

Would you have any suggestions on parameters to finetune at the server end or is there a hidden bug in PXELINUX-TFTP!

Thanks,
Sowmya

Yes, without the DEFAULT option it will not pick a label unless it's
called "linux".
