Package: syslinux-common
Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-7
Severity: important

>From my aptitude log:
[UPGRADE] syslinux-common 2:4.02+dfsg-3 -> 2:4.02+dfsg-7

After this update (and copying the relevant *.c32 files into my tftp
dir) I am no longer able to pxe boot vms or physical machines.  Instead
the pxeclient hangs when loading the "default" config file.  tftpd logs
show that it loads a number of menu files (presumably from having
actually received and parsed "default") and then stops at menu.c32.

Prior to this I had a nice (perhaps overly complex) setup working which
allowed various tools and install options to be selected from a text
menu (configs attached shortly).  The relevant *.c32 files I tested were
hdt.c32, menu.c32, vesamenu.c32, reboot.c32 (possibly also chain.c32).

This is a very nice utility we've been using for a couple years now and
this change is a real hassle.  Any fixes or workarounds (aside from
revert to backups) would be appreciated.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,
Brian
