[syslinux] Problems with PXE booting linux

[Steve Waldbusser]

Config: DFI 855GME-MGF board, r8169 on-board ethernet
Etherboot 5.4.1 run from a floppy
Downloads pxelinux.0 version 3.11 via TFTP
Stops dead after:

...
My IP address seems to be C0A80132 192.168.1.50
ip-192.168.1.50:192.168.1.10:0.0.0.0:255.255.255.0



If I change it to pxelinux.0 version 2.13, it continues and loads 
pxelinux.cfg/C0A80132, linux and
rootfs.gz and then stops dead after:

...
Loading rootfs.gz..........................................................
Ready.

This combination of DHCP server, pxelinux, linux and rootfs.gz has been 
successfully loading a couple of different types of motherboards (from 
BIOS, not floppy) for a few months.

Any ideas on what is wrong?


Thanks,
Steve
