[ipxe-devel] ipxe.lkrn chainloaded from pxelinux 4.03 does not work anymore

[Thomas Mieslinger]

Hi Robin,

thanks for your hints. Git is really helpful for situations like this. 
The bisect howto is great. Thanks.

I just figured out that it depends on what I define in general.h :-(

Latest iPXE compiled as ipxe.lkrn does work if the right things are in 
general.h.

Thomas
