pxe load issues

[Moody, John]

I am currently running Clonezilla on a three computer network and trying to get an image off of one of the client machines.  After rebooting either of the clients, they recognize the server and their own ip addresses on the network, but both get stuck when bringing up the message trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/...

Wireshark confirmed that pxelinux.0 was successfully transmitted to the slaves when requested.

After a client makes a request for pxelinux.cfg/*GUID* and the server acknowledges the request, the clients never respond and the server is left to retransmit repeatedly.

Thanks in advance,

-John

Hi John,
Please make sure:
1. There is not firewall or TCPwrapper (/etc/hosts.deny...) blocks the
request of client.
2. Some buggy PXE firmwares have such problem... You can try to change
/etc/dhpcd.conf or /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, by disabling pxelinux.0:
#filename = "pxelinux.0";
then turn on  gpxelinux.0
filename = "gpxelinux.0";
Remember to restart your dhcpd service on drbl server.
3. Make sure tftpd service is running.

Good luck.

Steven.
