[syslinux] pxelinux 5.00-pre6 sub menu not working

[Fabian Wenk]

Hello

I just tested my pxelinux installation with 5.00-pre6. For the 
installation I did first the same steps as I did with 4.05. I 
copied the following files out of the archive into my /tftpboot 
folder:

syslinux-5.00-pre6/core/pxelinux.0
syslinux-5.00-pre6/com32/menu/menu.c32
syslinux-5.00-pre6/memdisk/memdisk

With only this files, it was not working and I also had to copy 
this two additional files to my /tftpboot folder:

syslinux-5.00-pre6/com32/elflink/ldlinux/ldlinux.c32
syslinux-5.00-pre6/com32/libutil/libutil_com.c32

Now it is working and the menu is displayed. Also selecting other 
programs out of it do work (e.g. Smart Boot Manager). But 
selecting my "Hardware Tools Menu" sub menu does not work and the 
main menu is displayed again. I see a short message about loading 
/tools.menu, but in the tftp log it shows only this lines:

Jul  7 17:24:06 superman tftpd[79508]: Filename: 'menu.c32'
Jul  7 17:24:06 superman tftpd[79508]: Mode: 'octet'
Jul  7 17:24:06 superman tftpd[79508]: 172.16.4.169: read request 
for //menu.c32: success

Below the relevant parts of my pxelinux.cfg config files, which 
are working fine with 4.05.

pxelinux.cfg/default:
---8<----------------------------------------------------
DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0

pxelinux.cfg/tools.menu:

   MENU LABEL NIC ^3com
   KERNEL memdisk
   APPEND initrd=tools/nic/3com.img

LABEL hdtest-ibm
   MENU LABEL HD Test ^IBM
   KERNEL memdisk
   APPEND initrd=tools/disk/ibm.img
---8<----------------------------------------------------

Is something wrong with my configuration? Or do I need to copy 
some other files too? Or are sub menus not working any more with 
5.00-pre6?


bye
