Hi,

got some problems.

I'm trying to use Syslinux 5.10-pre1 to see if it fixes a problem 
described earlier.

First of a litle description how my System boots pxelinux.

DHCP Server looks if iPXE is allready loaded, and if not loads 
ipxe.kkpxe (because of the cached DHCP reply) from TFTP.

When iPXE boots it's useing the cached DHCP request and boots pxelinux.0 
from HTTP server.

Here is where the problem occours.

pxelinux.0 get's loaded from HTTP with no problems, but then pxelinux.0 
tries to load the missing modules (in this case ldlinux.c32), but it 
doesn't even try to load it from the HTTP server, but tries the TFTP 
server where the iPXE gets chainloaded from.

Here is the config file embedded into iPXE:

#!ipxe
prompt --key 0x02 --timeout 1000 Press Ctrl-B for the iPXE command 
line... && shell ||
set use-cached 1
dhcp net0
set 209:string http://***.***.***.187/pxelinux.cfg/default
set 210:string http://***.***.***.187/
set filename http://***.***.***.187/pxelinux.0
chain ${filename} ||
echo Netboot failed. Dropping to Shell...
shell

As you can see, everything is set to HTTP and i have no clue, why 
pxelinux.0 tries to load it from TFTP anyways.
