[syslinux] Help!I have problem in using pxelinux about menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32

[景元克]

Thanks very much for syslinux and pxelinux,they bring me many conveniences.I have problem in some computers.My english is very poor,so i submit in chinese and poor english.First I say sorry!

我在使用pxelinux时，在sis900网卡的电脑上出了问题。
出现的问题是：在default配置文件中调用menu.c32或者vesamenu.c32时都死机。
但是在default文件中直接调用DEFAULT memdisk c=638 h=2 s=18  floppy append initrd=netboot.zip可以直接启动并进入网络启动盘，接下来使用正常的。
我使用3com的boot image editor生成的启动菜单可以正常使用。

When I use pxelinux on my computer with sis900 netcard,I have problem.
The problem is: when pxelinux.0 use the config file "default",the computer halt.
I use "DEFAULT vesamenu.c32" and "DEFAULT menu.c32" in the "default " file,the problem occur.
But when I only put "DEFAULT memdisk c=638 h=2 s=18  floppy append initrd=netboot.zip" in the "default" file,the compute boot normally,it can go into net boot dos.
When i use the pxe file (boot menu file) genarated by "3com's boot image editor",my computer work normally.

我认为，问题出在menu.c32和vesamenu.c32的运行上，应该和网卡无关，因为指定memdisk命令可以正常运行。问题应该是cpu对menu.c32和vesamenu.c32的运行上。
I think,the problem is :menu.c32 and resamenu.c32 don't work on my computer.And it's not the netcard's error,because if i don't use menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32,it work normally.
I think it's the cpu who cause the problem,perhaps my cpu doesn't work with menu.c32 and vrsamenu.c32.

如果有人能帮我解决下面两个问题就太好了。
1、能否提供一个比较简单的象3com的pxe一样的启动文件，比menu.c32更简单。
2、在查找配置文件能否以mac的前6位查找，这样可以针对某型号的网卡设置单独的配置文件。
It's nice if someone can solve my below problem
1.I need a simple menu,simpler than menu.c32,like 3com's pxe file.
2.when pxelinux.0 find configuration file ,after find the file named by mac ,i hope it find the file named by the first 6 bit of the mac,so i can use a same configuration file for the same model net card.
