[syslinux] bug (I think) in gpxelinux.0 ?

[Miller, Shao]

Good day Nico,

What are your results if you move the "raw" and "keeppxe" parameters to
the APPEND line?

Peter,

Done some more tests, it also seems that the keeppxe parameter is being
ignored by 3.74.

Results below are done using 3.72:

1) booting the disk using pxelinux.0: works
2) booting the disk using gpxelinux.0 fails

Output for test 2: (hope that this includes the pointer info you
requested)

Disk is floppy 0, 1440 K, C/H/S = 80/2/18, EDD off
Using raw access to high memory
Total size needed = 2507 bytes, allocating 3K
Old dos memory at 0x8f000 (map says 0x8f000), loading at 0x8e400
1588: 0xffff 15E801: 0x3c00 0x0ed2
INT 13 08: Success, count 1, BPT = f000:81e9
old: int13 = f000ec59 int15 = 8f28061b int1e = f00081e9
new: int13 = 8e40000a int15 = 8e40037c int1e = f00081e9
Loading boot sector... booting...

small chunk from my config file:
kernel memdisk raw keeppxe
append initrd=bootdisk/xpboot-144.ima
