Everyone,
I have an existing installation of pxelinux from which I am booting
a xen hypervisor.
DEFAULT xen
SERIAL 0 57600
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 1
label xen
KERNEL mboot.c32
APPEND xen-3.3.gz dom0_mem=1024M noreboot ---
vmlinuz-2.6.24-24-xen ro root=/dev/sda1 all-generic-ide irqpoll panic=0 ---
initrd.img-2.6.24-24-xen
LABEL localboot
LOCALBOOT 0
I wish to translate this config into a gpxe compatible one. I've been
looking around online, and I've seen two solutions, one using the native
mulitboot support and the other using the mboot.c32.
However neither will successfully boot the machine. I will post both
configs and the resulting logs:

I'm not sure what I should try next, and I'm hoping this list will have
some ideas I haven't thought of.
