Title:
  15.10 beta1 netboot code not working

Status in syslinux package in Ubuntu:
  New

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/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26720 Apr 15  2014 14.04-i386/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:35 15.10-amd64/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42934 Jul 29 01:36 15.10-i386/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.0

  So it looks as if the pxelinux.0 is somewhat broken in 15.10 beta1

  regards
  Hadmut
