Hi HPA:
As for the simple menu, it never works in SIS900 chips.
If running without the menu.c32 system, it works. Actually I can do
now for sis900 client is just to change the "default menu.c32" to something like "default memtest" as:
------
default menu.c32 -> change to "default memtest"
timeout 70
prompt 0
label local
# MENU DEFAULT
# MENU HIDE
MENU LABEL Local operating system (if available)
localboot 0
label memtest
# MENU DEFAULT
# MENU HIDE
MENU LABEL Memory test using Memtest86+
kernel memtest86
label ...
------
I have tried a lot of sis900 chips, all got the same problem. Others also confirmed that they have the same problem.
Thanks.
Steven.
