[syslinux] CTRL+X LSS16 Image embedded in "DISPLAY message" no longer works?

[Frantisek Rysanek]

Dear gentlemen,

this is just a marginal quirk...

I've been using a graphical logo at the pxelinux prompt in our LAN 
for many years. It's always been the same LSS16 picture, and it's 
always been working fine. 
I've been using pxelinux 3.53 until recently.
Right now I'm in the process of introducing "UEFI netboot" into our 
LAN, and also the diskless boot into Debian would make use of some 
goodies (variables) from modern pxelinux... hence my attempts to 
migrate my setup to pxelinux 6.03. I've downloaded a tarball with 
pre-built binaries.

Apart from other things, I've noticed in 6.03 that our graphical logo 
is no longer displayed, although the "DISPLAY message" text appears 
just fine.

I've also noticed in TFTPd logs that:

- while the boot.msg refers to ^Xcdlogo.lss, and this is what the old 
pxelinux 3.53 asks for via TFTP, 

- the new pxelinux 6.03 asks for a file called just "c", which 
obviously is not available...

- if I symlink or copy cdlogo.lss to "c", I believe pxelinux just 
hangs upon actually obtaining the file via TFTP :-)

I'm not conversant enough in the syslinux internals to know what 
changes have happend since 3.53 to the VGA video support, or to the 
routine loading that LSS file via TFTP. Quite a bit of water has 
probably flown under the bridge since 3.53.  I've noticed that some 
new SVGA support has been added and used for the new optional 
all-graphical menu (which I don't necessarily find very helpful for 
my specific setup).

Not exactly a painful issue, yet probably a regression...
Any comments would be welcome :-)

Last but not least: thanks to HPA and all the contributors for making 
syslinux possible.
