[syslinux] weirdness with PXELINUX

[Martijn Bakker]

Hey Peter, rest,

I'm trying to boot a linux-kernel tru pxelinux, but it hangs while
initializing the CPU. When I boot the kernel from floppy everything works,
but trying to boot the same kernel with pxelinux results in a choking
kernel. If I touch the keyboard after it hangs, it panics.

I'm using:
 - homegrown Linux-2.4.21-preSomething-acSomethingElse (booting well from
   a floppy disk on the same machine)
 - tftp-hpa 0.34, without remap, without tcpwrappers on Linux
 - pxelinux.0 from syslinux 2.04
 - a compaq deskpro 2000 (model 120) with most recent updates
 - a 3com 905c with PXE 2 stack (I might need to update firmware, going to
   try that in a minute)
 - Patrick Rondat's guitar music for moral support

Am I missing something? I bet it's something so bloody obvious...

grtz, Tijn
