I have had the 'LOCALBOOT' versus 'chain.c32' issue with Dell for a long 
time; some models work with one and some with the other.

But what was the actual error message?  Having the actual error message 
would mean the ability to find it in the source code and see why it 
might be produced.

Another question: Did any version of PXELINUX ever behave any 
differently with this T1600 model, or has only PXELINUX 5.00 been tried? 
  (The same question as "Is this a regression for Syslinux 5.00?")
