[syslinux] Please test 4.10-pre17

[Shantanu Gadgil]

Hi,

The machines are:
Server: DELL 755
Client1: DELL 960

I can provide the 'lspci' output if required.

The server machine and the 'client1' machine are right next to each other connected via a 100 Mbps switch.

Problem) 
I copy *all* the required files from v4.10-pre7 into my '/tftpboot' directory, sync (for good luck) and fire up 'client1'.
It does its regular DHCP... bit and hangs as shown in the image.

I copy over the files from v 4.05 and restart 'client1' ... it *just works*, boot menu and all.

I did not go any further to test the lab machines, given that this is not working.

Regarding the packet trace the exact command to capture this would be really helpful as I am not familiar with such.

Regards,
Shantanu

P.S.
As I am typing this email, I see a 4.06 release, which I can test tomorrow.
