                          I made TFTP boot share and it works for virtual machine and desktop computer (menu appears). But on notebook Dell Inspiron 7720 it shows few lines



and turns black.

Syslinux config is follows:

    $ cat pxelinux.cfg/default
    DEFAULT menu.c32
    PROMPT 0
    #MENU BACKGROUND moon800.jpg
    #MENU RESOLUTION 800 600
    #MENU MARGIN 20
    
    MENU TITLE In The Moon Network
    
    LABEL kaspersky
    MENU LABEL Kaspersky Rescue Disk (WAIT!)
    KERNEL memdisk
    INITRD /iso/kav_rescue_10.iso
    APPEND harddisk raw
    
    LABEL rescue
    MENU LABEL SystemRescueCd x86 4.7.1 (WAIT!)
    KERNEL memdisk
    INITRD /iso/systemrescuecd-x86-4.7.1.iso
    APPEND iso raw
    
    LABEL ubuntudesktop
    MENU LABEL Run Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 LTS (WAIT!)
    KERNEL memdisk
    INITRD http://sagittarius-a/boot/ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso 
    APPEND harddisk raw
    
    LABEL ubuntu-installer-amd64-desktop-16.04-lts
    MENU LABEL Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop AMD64
    KERNEL ubuntu-installer/16.04LTS/amd64/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32
    APPEND ubuntu-installer/16.04LTS/amd64/boot-screens/menu.cfg


Content of TFTP directory is follows:

    /var/lib/tftpboot$ ls
    iso           libutil.c32  menu.c32     netboot            ubuntu-installer
    ldlinux.c32   lpxelinux.0  moon640.jpg  pxelinux.cfg       vesamenu.c32
    libcom32.c32  memdisk      moon800.jpg  sagittarius-a.jpg

The problem it doesn't show any menu at all.


**UPDATE**

I have replaced lpxelinux.0 for pxelinux.0 and revised all c32 to have them from single distribution of syslinux, but finally got the same result.

Why is it loading NBP file several (two) times?
