client does not complete pxelinux.cfg search

[NickRickard]

Normal (previous) behaviour on booting a thin client at 192.168.1.128 is that after dhcp and tftp are found it states:

TFTP prefix: /ltsp/i386
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A80180
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A8018
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A801
...
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/0
whereupon it boots successfully.

Update to Karmic and new ltsp-build-client gives this on the thin client:

TFTP prefix: /ltsp/i386
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff
and then it hangs on this line, it never looks for the actual MAC address.

What is your version of the syslinux package?
dpkg -l syslinux

If this happens to you with the latest version of syslinux (currently 2:3.63+dfsg-2ubuntu3),
and it doesn't happen if you use an earlier version (e.g. trying copying pxelinux.0 from Jaunty),
then you should report this bug to the syslinux package, not in ltsp. Thanks!

I am using the latest syslinux (2:3.63+dfsg-2ubuntu3).

If I copy pxelinux.0 from an earlier version then it boots correctly, thanks.

Is it possible to transfer this bug to the syslinux package or do I need to close this and open a new one?
