Hello,

       I just would like to let you know that after investigating a 
while, it seems to me that the vmlinuz kernel ( Centos 5.6 Xen ) tftp 
transfer is hanging because there look to be some buffer overflow on the 
client side because after a while ( more or less 50Kb transfer ) , there 
is no more acknoledgment coming back from the client even in the last 
syslinux distribution revision 4.0.4.

       I hope it will help.

       Best Regards

       Pascal KOENIG
