PXE Simple Menu (menu.c32) problem

Hello list,

I have a Fedora Core 5 server with a pxe server.
What I'd like to have is a boot menu that asks the client to select the 
appropriate label.
I found some documentation about menu.c32 from the syslinux folder 
("/usr/lib/syslinux/menu.c32").
I copied it to "/tftpboot" and setup my pxe config file.
This is my "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default" file:
<file>
DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0

MENU TITLE PXE Boot Menu

LABEL memtest
       MENU LABEL memtest
       KERNEL  memtest
</file>

As far as I found information it should work, but it doesn't.
This is the client output:
<output>
...
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
.
</output>
After the "." the pxe client lockes up.
When I don't use "default menu.c32" it says "boot: " here instead of "."

Can anyone help me?
