Hello,
i've found a strange bug, here is my situation:
- all of our computers makes a pxeboot request by default
dhcp server is configured:
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
option space PXE;
option PXE.mtftp-ip code 1 = ip-address;
option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-tmout code 4 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.mtftp-delay code 5 = unsigned integer 8;
.../...
host computer-01 {
hardware ethernet 00:27:0e:0a:d2:73;
fixed-address 192.168.100.35;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient" {
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
else {
filename "kernel-maui.nbi";
}
option root-path "192.168.100.1:/opt/ltsp44/i386";
}
.../...
- if nothing to do with lan boot, server send a pxelinux.cfg/MACCADDR
file with
default local
label local
localboot 0x80
- if i have a windows xp on my computer, this windows does not boot
!!! i unplug my ethernet card, reboot, then windows boot-up correctly !
I've constated this bug on several computers with theses network cards:
- Computer A: RTL8101E
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E P
CI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
03:00.0 0200: 10ec:8136 (rev 02)
- Computer B: Atheros AR8132 PCI-E
This problem is present with pxelinux.0 since 3.83 version, 4.03
included :( ... if i use pxelinux.0 from 3.82 everything is good (but
some new hardware does not work damned !)
Do you have some ideas (please say "yes") ?
Thanks,
Ãric
