Hello everybody,
setting up a netboot server for a really huge network I decided to go with
what will be syslinux 4.10 to get support for http transfers.
The setup works on my notebook, booting another notebook directly connected.
However it fails with a more complex setup: A virtual machine on the
second notebook bridged to the ethernet device does not boot, systems from
other networks with a router in between do not boot either.
The last message I can see on the clients is "Trying to load:
pxelinux.cfg/<mac>". With tcpdump I can confirm there is a request
for /pxelinux.cfg/<uid> (which is answered correctly with "no such file").
But there is nothing about /pxelinux.cfg/<mac> in the logs (neither request
nor answer).
This used to work perfectly with syslinux 4.05. Any ideas what could go wrong?
BTW, is there a git repo containing the latest code for syslinux pre 4.10?
Could not find one so far.
