Re: Make undionly issue, http works unsteadily

Good day Sean,

Just curious: What version does gPXE report it is when you boot the one you=
 made in RedHat Linux?  Maybe you could try enabling debugging in your buil=
d with:

make DEBUG=3Dhttp bin/undionly.kpxe

It's also possible that you don't need to use the 'dhcp net0' command in th=
e script you showed in your e-mail.  gPXE will already have received DHCP p=
arameters if it was able to receive the gPXE script itself.  Try removing t=
hat line and see what happens.  Thanks.

Hi all

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 I use following command in redhat linux t=
o build my boot image.

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 =A0make bin/undionly.kpxe

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 then I copy undionly.kpxe to TFTP Server =
and set DHCP option 67 to point this file. =A0In the DHCP server, there is =
another Option 67 in User-class (gPXE) pointing to boot.gpxe (it's gpxe boo=
t script). The boot.gpxe's content is list below,

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 #!gpxe
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 ifstat
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 dhcp net0
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 kernel http://10.254.196.6/pxeboot/pxelinux.0 =

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 boot pxelinux.0


=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 When I boot PXE client first time, it can=
 boot to pxelinux menu. =A0However, 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
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 =

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Error information: Could not fetch http:/=
/10.254.196.6/pxeboot/pxelinux.0: Connecting timeout (0x4c0a6035) =


=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 I tried to reboot PXE client again and ag=
ain, and I got the same error. =A0If I wait about 2 or 3 minutes and reboot=
,=A0 the PXE client could boot to pxelinux menu normally.

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 I don not think it is due to the http ser=
ver problem, I think there is something wrong when making undionly.kpxe fil=
e. =A0Because I tried to get the boot image from http://rom-o-matic.net/, a=
nd this file works fine, it has no any unstable issue as my described above=
. =

=A0
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Thanks in advanced.
