[syslinux] chainbooting pxe servers stalls

I've started using pxe servers for OS deployment at my organization and I'm
trying to get chainbooting working but I seem to run into an issue that
causes a hard lock up of a system.

MENU BEGIN ^1. Boot Satellite PXE
        LABEL Satellite PXE
        KERNEL pxechain.com
        APPEND (Server IP Address)::pxelinux.0
Is part of my config file for my main pxe server to boot over to the
satellite based pxe server but when I choose this option I see
TFTP boot: (server ip address) pxelinux.0 and it locks up the machine and I
have to hard reset it.

So I'm not sure where you start troubleshooting.

Thanks,
