When I use pxelinux on my computer with sis900 netcard,I have problem.
The problem is: when pxelinux.0 use the config file "default",the computer halt.
I use "DEFAULT vesamenu.c32" and "DEFAULT menu.c32" in the "default " file,the problem occur.
But when I only put "DEFAULT memdisk c=638 h=2 s=18 floppy append initrd=netboot.zip" in the "default" file,the compute boot normally,it can go into net boot dos.
When i use the pxe file (boot menu file) genarated by "3com's boot image editor",my computer work normally.

I think,the problem is :menu.c32 and resamenu.c32 don't work on my computer.And it's not the netcard's error,because if i don't use menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32,it work normally.
I think it's the cpu who cause the problem,perhaps my cpu doesn't work with menu.c32 and vrsamenu.c32.

It's nice if someone can solve my below problem
1.I need a simple menu,simpler than menu.c32,like 3com's pxe file.
2.when pxelinux.0 find configuration file ,after find the file named by mac ,i hope it find the file named by the first 6 bit of the mac,so i can use a same configuration file for the same model net card.

Obviously true.

Wrong conclusion. The most likely cause of the problem is the PXE stack
(part of the network card), followed by the BIOS. This is especially so
since you're using the notoriously broken SiS900.

One thing you can do is to load Etherboot/gPXE and use it as a
replacement PXE stack.

Very unlikely.
