[Bug 1385069] [NEW] Netboot installer appears broken in utopic

[yoshi314]

Public bug reported:

i boot ubuntu installer through iPXE like so :

#!ipxe
dhcp

set 210:string http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/
chain ${210:string}pxelinux.0


This worked perfectly with trusty, fails on utopic due to "cannot load ldlinux.c32" error (file is present on the server). On both architectures. 

My take is that it's a pxelinux bug, although i found reports on it on
other pxelinux versions, and not this one.

Steps to reproduce

- build ipxe from source with make EMBED=menu ; where menu contains the aforementioned content
- boot in qemu  (qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bin/ipxe.lkrn ) , obseve the problem
- s/utopic/trusty/g 
- rebuild ipxe
- observe correct boot in qemu

** Affects: syslinux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
