I'm trying to build a new server which is an IBM e-server x3550 M3.  I get the server to boot to PXE and am getting the following.
Bnx2: Can't load firmware file bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1.fw
Bnx2 0000:0b:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
Bnx2: probe of 000:0b:00.0 failed with error -2
Bnx2 000:0b:00.1 PCI Int B -> GSI 40 (level, low) -> IRQ

Bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1.fw"
Bnx2 0000:0b:00.1: PCI INT B disabled
Bnx2: probe of 000:0b:00.1 failed with error -2 ...done loading bnx2 (module bnx2 already loaded) ***Now that we have loaded the modules (maybe), let's try DHCP
***eth0 not found
***eth1 not found
***eth2 not found
Failed to obtain DHCP lease
*** Dropping to shell
Bash-4.1#
Bash-4.1#


I can see that when the server loads and that it grabs an IP address and I can see that in our TFTP server as well.

Thanks for the help,

Brandon

4.05 of the syslinux distribution and am looking for the pxelinux.0 file and can't see to find it in the distribution am I missing something?

core/pxelinux.0.

server for a server I am building.  It errors out when it gets to the nic card and then exists to the shell.  Any ideas?

What does mean?  A PXE client loads PXELINUX but errors out and drops to a prompt?  What errors?  What prompt?
