Description Nitin Kamble 2002-03-25 21:16:13 UTC

Description of Problem:
There are no pxe and mtptp rpms in ia64 redhat linux distribution. Also the 
dhcpd daemon is required to be updated from www.isc.org to comply with pxe 
support.

Because of this the ia64 linux machine can not be a pxe boot server.


Actual Results:
Not available componentes

Expected Results:
should have these components and working.

Additional Information:
There wasn't any way to submit requests for pxe and mtftp, so I am adding them 
in dhcp component.

We can certainly look at this for future ia64 releases.

Comment 2 Elliot Lee 2002-06-21 15:51:58 UTC

Given the fact that the dev86 package only is available on x86 platforms, it's not likely that  
this is going to happen.

Comment 3 Rob Landry 2002-06-28 19:26:11 UTC

Question; what is the dependancy on dev86?

Comment 4 Elliot Lee 2002-06-28 20:00:26 UTC

It has to build all the PXE bootstrap stuff (under /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI) from source.

There are no theoretical barriers to making dev86 fully portable, but I spent a few hours 
attempting to do so and ran into lots of grotty code that is probably a week or two from 
running on 64-bit systems (can you say "gratuitous use of 'long'"? :).

Comment 5 Rob Landry 2002-07-12 20:21:16 UTC

Now that it's been a bit.  Do we know what it's going to take to get this done.
 And how long that might take?
