Bug Description
Hi,
for ages I am using a network PXE server and a script to configure the PXE server for every ubuntu version I am using, both the AMD64 and i386 code. For all releases my PXE server is configured the very same way, using the same script to download netboot and image from ubuntu. Worked well for ages.
Now I have a brendnew Asrock BeeBox N3150, and to install it I was trying to step from 14.04 to 15.10 beta 1.
But both AMD64 and i386 netboot codes for 15.10 beta 1 are not working. BIOS boot code says FTP BOOT: ... pxelinux.0 and shows a single dot and then completely hangs.
It, on the other hand, perfectly works with the 14.04 boot code.
The pxelinux.0 coming with the netboot differs i nsize:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26720 Apr 15 2014 14.04-amd64/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26720 Apr 15 2014 14.04-i386/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:35 15.10-amd64/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:36 15.10-i386/
So it looks as if the pxelinux.0 is somewhat broken in 15.10 beta1

Replacing the pxelinux.0 of 15.10 beta1 with the pxelinux.0 from 14.04 solves the problem of freezing, but then goes into boot: prompt after loading the config, since this versions config file contains config syntax the old code can't deal with.
So it's definitely the pxelinux.0 causing the freeze.
