[syslinux] pxelinux vesamenu.c32/menu.c32 localboot freeze

[Jan Schneider]

Hello,

we encounter problems with pxelinux in combination with menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 
on various computers.
We are using syslinux 3.71 with the following configuration:
----------------------------------------------------------
default vesamenu.c32
timeout 30

label hd
  menu label Boot from local disk
  localboot 0x80

label net
  menu label Boot from network
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.gz
----------------------------------------------------------
The network boot works, but when selecting "boot from local disk" the system 
freezes displaying the message "booting from local disk".

On the same machines the following config works fine:
----------------------------------------------------------
default hd

label hd
  localboot 0x80
----------------------------------------------------------
