Hi all

 

            I use following command in redhat linux to build my boot image.

 

             make bin/undionly.kpxe

 

            then I copy undionly.kpxe to TFTP Server and set DHCP option 67
to point this file.  In the DHCP server, there is another Option 67 in
User-class (gPXE) pointing to boot.gpxe (it's gpxe boot script). The
boot.gpxe's content is list below,

 

            #!gpxe

       ifstat

       dhcp net0

       kernel http://10.254.196.6/pxeboot/pxelinux.0 

       boot pxelinux.0

 

 

            When I boot PXE client first time, it can boot to pxelinux menu.
However, if I reboot PXE client immediately, it encountered some problem
when executing following command in boot script.

kernel http://10.254.196.6/pxeboot/pxelinux.0

            

            Error information: Could not fetch
http://10.254.196.6/pxeboot/pxelinux.0: Connecting timeout (0x4c0a6035) 

 

            I tried to reboot PXE client again and again, and I got the same
error.  If I wait about 2 or 3 minutes and reboot,  the PXE client could
boot to pxelinux menu normally.

 

            I don not think it is due to the http server problem, I think
there is something wrong when making undionly.kpxe file.  Because I tried to
get the boot image from http://rom-o-matic.net/, and this file works fine,
it has no any unstable issue as my described above. 

 

            Thanks in advanced.

            

            

 

 

Thanks

 

Best Regards

 

Sean Lv Jie
