We fixed this in the cert lab by using chain.c32 rather than LOCALBOOT.
As far as I know, this problem was due to a PXE BIOS bug rather than a
syslinux change, although it's possible that an otherwise innocuous
syslinux change managed to tickle some previously undisturbed PXE BIOS
bugs.
**
Release-noted, insofar as it's possible:
* Some users booting machines from the network using PXE, and using the
`LOCALBOOT` facility in Syslinux to hand off to a local hard disk, found
that there was no argument that would successfully cause a local boot.
Syslinux provides a `chain.c32` COM32

Yes, it doesn't even get to accepting Shift, so it's as mentioned by
Colin: this affects syslinux, not grub.

It seems unlikely to me that this is a GRUB bug. The evidence suggests
that GRUB is simply not being loaded at all.
Here is the Syslinux documentation on LOCALBOOT, and note that the
permissible values for PXELINUX are *not* the same as for ISOLINUX:
LOCALBOOT type
Colin,
Spoke to Anouar and he agrees that it doesn't appear we can do anything
about this.
I'm going to mark this bug as a Won't Fix for now.

grub hangs at early booting after handoff from PXE
Ameet, Colin,
Just to clarify things (though I agree there is sadly little than can be
done anyway) I marked this bug as affecting grub because (if I recall
correctly) using Shift would still sometimes yield the GRUB menu. We'll
re-test this in the lab first though.

Ok, apparently -1 works on the Inspiron 1545 as well, but this solution
is not usable as it makes other machines (e.g. Toshiba systems) fail to
boot in the same way described above.

Mathieu,
Are you able to provide any screen shot or log of the hang from a remote
