Steven,
I tried also the syslinux 4.00-pre38 code and the Proliants (BL/DL) I tested all failed
to LOCALBOOT even without using the menu.c32.
The code is changed too much that I don’t know how to apply my old hack.
I propose to log a bug with the syslinux project.
Regards,
Peter

Subject: Re: Updated menu.c32
That's unfortunately not going to work for us. I'm using the 4.0 pre release
because of it's support for larger ISO boot images. I was looking at the code and saw
a mention of the real_mode_seg starting at 4000h. Peter Vreman mentioned in his post
this...
"When I change the real mode segments to 5000h-6000h-7000h then I can also use the
localboot."
I'd like to know if that means I need to modify the code and if so, what variables
need to be set. Unfortunately, in the 4.0 code for syslinux, the value of real_mode_seg is
assigned by the linker. I have no idea how to modify that. I'm wondering if I need to
be asking this question on another list like
boot-land.net.

I had to downgrade to syslinux-3.52 in order to get the local boot option to work.

I'm experiencing this same problem with menu.c32 and localboot. In your posting, you
mention changing the real mode segments. I'm not familiar with this. Can you
explain?
Updated menu.c32

I've had this problem in the past, on RHEL4.2 systems. Updating to the
syslinux provided by at least 4.4 I think was the solution in my case.
Peter, when you file your bug, could you also be sure to include the OS
version and the previous syslinux version (if you remember it)?
The bug I'm having is not menu.c32 related as I thought. The problem is that only
localboot is not working. All other network-boot entries are working.
It is a generic HP Proliant-pxelinux problem, see also
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/syslinux/users/8742.
I have tested with the latest syslinux pxelinux.0. When I change the real mode segments to
5000h-6000h-7000h then I can can also use the localboot.
Regards,
Peter
