Re: get gPXE to retry connections

Good day Matthew,

In regards to your gPXE clients looping until they can successfully
boot, I believe that you could modify the gPXE source code to accomplish
this.  Take a look at gpxe/src/core/main.c.  Consider the following
diff:

diff --git a/src/core/main.c b/src/core/main.c
index 74452b7..464b1df 100644
--- a/src/core/main.c
+++ b/src/core/main.c
@@ -64,6 +64,7 @@ __asmcall int main ( void ) {
                printf ( " %s", feature->name );
        printf ( "\n" );

+matthew:
        /* Prompt for shell */
        if ( shell_banner() ) {
                /* User wants shell; just give them a shell */
@@ -86,6 +87,7 @@ __asmcall int main ( void ) {

+goto matthew;

        shutdown ( SHUTDOWN_EXIT | shutdown_exit_flags );

Would this accomplish your goal?
