[syslinux] odd pxelinux/tftp-hpa problem

I haven't encountered this problem before.   This is from a Compaq 
DL320, with Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17 and tftp-hpa-0.28 running on 
Solaris.   The PXE stack gets its IP address just fine, but it times out 
on the TFTP.  While snooping on the Solaris box and grepping for TFTP, I 
found that the box gets one block of the TFTP transfer just fine.

  TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)
  TFTP Error: not defined
  TFTP Read "pxelinux.0" (octet)
  TFTP Ack  block 0

and continues with the Acks until it times out..  I have no problems 
pxebooting my othe Compaq boxes with the same IBA version.  The "not 
defined" message is bugging me.  Any ideas?

James
