Syslinux ignores timeout parameter
Hi,

I use Syslog on a 486/66 Fli4L-DSL-Router in our family LAN. When the router
started today, Syslinux asked for "boot:", which it had never done before.
The Timeout parameter was set to 0. I have also tried to run it without any
timeout parameter in syslinux.cfg, still the same problem.
Do you have any idea what might be the reason for Syslinux to wait for
input?

Thanks a lot.

If any modifier key (Shift, Control, Alt) is pressed syslinux (also
pxelinux and isolinux AFAIK) does this. Maybe your keyboard has
some stuck keys?

Hi,

you were right, Capslock was stuck, now it works again. Thanks.
