Possible bug in pxelinux 1.70 & 1.71
Hi!

We've been trying to use pxelinux to boot the Intel D815EGEW board (a
sub ATX board).

I've discovered what appears to be a bug in pxelinux. pxelinux
versions up to 1.67 work fine, but pxelinux 1.70 and 1.71 don't.

When it fails it shows this on the screen

Intel Base-Code, PXE-2.1 (build 083)
[loading kernel etc]
Loading ready.
Failed to free base memory, sorry...

Then it just stops and does nothing. Reverting to 1.67 or 1.64 causes
the boot to proceed properly.

BIOS is EW81510A.86A.0044.P03

In summary

Fails
1.71
1.70

Works
1.67
1.64

;-)

Let me know if I can provide any more info - I'm happy to test stuff
if required too.

Thanks for a cool program!

Nick
