Hello, I apologize if this has been answered already, but my search didn't turn anything up. I'm assisting a colleague with problems PXE booting Xen clients. Etherboot-5.4.2 is being used by Xen to do the boot. It seems, from my packet captures, that the "secs" field (9th and 10th octets, "seconds since client started trying to boot") of the DHCPDISCOVER packets is never being incremented. I realize that this seems only to be a suggestion in RFC 1541, but it does seem to be an oversight if this is, in fact, normal. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? If so, has it been fixed in any later version?
