Hello,

A couple of months back there was this message on the list.
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2010-October/015459.html

I have exactly the same result on just a few types of machines.

Acer Tavelmate 8372 and 5742
InsydeH2O Bios v1.05
Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 V 14.0.8

It started after I upgrades pxelinux.0 to version 3.86

Versions tested and got the recursing:
3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.83

On version 3.82 it works. (so stopped trying there)

It looks like something has changed from 3.82 to 3.83 that broke localboot 
for some types of machines.
All other types of machines have no problem with it at all, with any over 
the verions.
