[syslinux] "Tick-counting" vs "Tick-less" timekeeping issues on VMs emulating BIOS PCs

Your Linux guest will have reconfigured the timer interrupt to run 
faster than the BIOS standard rate of 18.2Hz.

It could be; I really do not know.

Bottom line; There are timing issues with TFTP transfers 

on VM machines emulating BIOS hardware. 

Probably the interrupt based timer is not the culprit; 

now I'm working on /core/fs/pxe/core.c trying to see if 

there's something wrong there.
