Public bug reported: Hi there,
This is an independantly confirmed upstream bug, which occurs in version 6.0.3 of syslinux / plxelinux upsteram sources. The fix has already been committed to upstream, and can be found here: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-September/024305.html If you read back the above thread, it explains pretty much everything about the bug in question. I myself encountered this bug today, whilst using the current official ubuntu syslinux pkg. Which is to say this one: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/3:6.03+dfsg-8ubuntu2 While being on ubuntu 15.10 wily. Now xenial says: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/3:6.03+dfsg-11ubuntu1 Which is like minor patch revisions but still based on same 6.03 release upstream srcs? And hence the bug probably still exists in xenial. So you will probably need to either increment the upstream release version in your pkg to include the fix commit. Or else local manual patch onto buggy 6.0.3 release. Many thanks. ==== To reproduce Error condition (it is the same as in the mailinglist thread): * Install pxelinux pkg from official ubuntu. * Copy pxelinux.0 + ldlinux.c32 --> pxe / tftp http web root * Make a Net Boot entry for pxelinux.0 in ipxe. As described here: http://jpmens.net/2011/07/18/network-booting- machines-over-http/ #!ipxe imgfree set 210:string http://10.0.12.249/pxe/ set 209:string http://10.0.12.249/pxelinux.php?MAC=${net0/mac}&ip=${ip} set filename ${210:string}pxelinux.0 chain ${filename} || echo Netboot failed shell * pxe boot (network boot) in a virtualbox vm on same local lan (using bridged network adapter) --> ipxe * have ipxe load with the above #!ipxe config file to in turn boot --> into pxelinux.0 (from ubuntu 6.0.3 syslinux pkg) * pxelinux fails to use http etc. Due to a mis-commit (developer testing hack not put back) in their 6.0.3 code base.
