I've noticed that the pxelinux that ships with RHEL4 (test platform:

If you have RHEL4's version of syslinux installed, the fix here is to
install a newer syslinux. I'll file the bug for good measure (if
this is even a bug?) and may bundle a known-good pxelinux.0 in the
next release. The workaround is pretty simple though. If anyone
still has questions, feel free to ask.
Finally got the time to try out the newer 0.4.2 version.. the default
menu gets created nicely and i am trying to use a local kickstart file
rather than a URL (to explore templating options)..
However, while trying to pxeboot a test server, it just stays at the
menu (tab works fine though).. looks like i need to upgrade syslinux
OR pxelinux.0 as you've mentioned. Now since syslinux needs an upgrade
(the latest being 3.36) do you have any recommendations for the version?

It seems you've got it working (great!), though since you asked ... FC6
has 3.11-4, so anything equal to or newer than that should be fine.
Looks like you're running newer and that shouldn't cause any problems.
