PXE boot problem: menu.c32 doesn't count down / timeout

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

One system was rebooted but did not come back online after a while. When checking its console, the system was stuck showing the boot menu presented by Satellite's cobbler.
This menu reports that automatic boot should proceed automatically in 20 seconds. However, the associated timer didn't move, and the system did not proceed with the local boot as expected.

Environment

  • RHN Satellite 5.4 being used as a PXE server
