Thanks for that Ferenc. And here's the commit that should have fixed it: http://git.zytor.com/?p=syslinux/syslinux.git;a=commit;h=2e0aae3abec21ba81fca577d59cf50b4dceaaac6 I checked and that does look to be included in the 3.71 Debian source. I've done a quick test using tftpd-hpa with the '-r tsize' option, which should make it not accept that option. D-I still boots fine when I use the lenny or squeeze images. If I try an etch image I get an error "server does not support tsize" and the netboot is cancelled cleanly. I get nothing like the error that Mario originally reported... So that does seem to confirm that tsize is not the problem here. It also seems more likely that it's not syslinux that's broken, but either the PXE client in Mario's system(s), or his TFTP server (I'd bet on the latter). If either of you wishes to do additional testing and follow up on this with the syslinux or the relevant tftp server package maintainer, feel free to reopen and reassign the BR. I'll update the note in the Installation Guide (not sure yet how exactly). Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
