Is there a problem with using iPXE -> PXELINUX? They can certainly be
packaged together.
COMBOOT32 modules are "going away" in favour of ELF, and maybe even EFI
modules after that. This might be a waste of effort unless you have a
strong case for it.
Daniel Verkamp's original COMBOOT module support for gPXE was certainly
great work and has come in handy.

Subject: [ipxe-devel] Request for syslinux com32r support.
Are there any developers interested in getting syslinux com32r support
added to ipxe?
I'm interested in seeing if some $$ would motivate someone to get it
done? I don't have a lot to throw at it, nor know how much effort would
be required to get it done.
Payment via paypal, The only requirement I have is that it is high
quality so that it can be added to future builds of ipxe (which implies
patch is open source)

I do have a preliminary patch for COM32R that I put together recently,
but it's unfinished (see attached).
I don't have the time to finish this at the moment, but anyone else is
welcome to use it as a base for further work.
This patch just recognizes the new COM32R signature and loads them in
the same fixed location as regular COM32 modules. The new arguments to
the entry point are also bogus. This shouldn't break any existing,
working COM32 modules, but most COM32R modules that do anything
interesting probably won't work yet.
Chaining to PXELINUX is probably the better option going forward.

Yeah, I knew before making this offer that it would be short lived. I
don't think Syslinux 5 is right around the corner though. Maybe I'm
wrong, but I am guessing since 4 was released not too long ago, we have
another 6 months/year before 5 is out.
