Hi

A PXE boot issue appeared yesterday. For some reason all HS22 servers couldn't 
boot via PXE. The issue described here 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1016326, but I have HS22 
servers, not  IBM x3850 X5. The provided fix worked in my case. Is anyone else 
has/had this problem? 

I'm running xCAT 2.7.3, using syslinux-xcat-3.86-2.noarch (should I try 
different version on syslinux, ie 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/3.xx/syslinux-3.86.tar.bz2)
Have latest updates for HS22 (applied yesterday in attempt to resolve the 
problem).
The only fix that worked is provided in the link above. 

This is how pxeboot file looks now

#boot
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
MENU LABEL Boot from first hard drive
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 0

I also needed to update  /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/pxe.pm file to generate 
bootfile above.
