that may be solvable. Perhaps the client insists on a special (or not even special)
option to come from the server. I've seen clients refusing to boot if they get the
boot file via the bootp options, but boot fine with the dhcp ones. This would be
options 'bf' vs. '66' AFAIR. Take a deep look at the dhcp packets the server sends out,
perhaps you can get the server to support these options for your pxelinux clients.
If you need help with that post the whole DHCP request (4 packets - Discover, Offer, Request,
Ack ) for both servers, and see what we can do about this.

Regards,

Josef
