[syslinux] pxelinux boot problem in qemu

Hi Peter,

Looks like I hit something between 3.71 and current git.
With the following config:

----------
serial 0 19200 0x013

prompt 0
timeout 100
default menu.c32

label desktop
  localboot 0

label linux
  kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686
  append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
  ipappend 2
----------

this command (invoking QEMU 0.9.1 with the attached rom-o-matic
extension rom)

qemu -hda /dev/zero -option-rom gpxe-git-rtl8029.rom -tftp /home/wferi/syslinux/tftpboot.371 -bootp /pxelinux.0 -serial stdio

works as expected (using pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 as packaged in Debian
Lenny), while gives a black screen with the current git versions.
However, by hitting ESC I get a boot: prompt, and hitting Enter leads
to an empty menu.

I can git bisect it if needed, or have you got a better idea?

Feri.
