From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: Trying to get a GCT Allwell 1030 with Intel LanDesk Service Agent 0.99b box to boot off the network. dhcp-2.0pl5-8 will do nothing: the GCT Allwell box will just hang trying "BOOTP...." /var/log/messages shows a whole bunch of DHCPREQUESTs and DHCPOFFERs, dhcpcd.conf with or without various 43-options, and with or without option 60 set to PXEClient makes no difference at all. Trying an old version of dhcpd (dhcp-2.0-12) off my RH 6.2 box will switch almost immediately after boot from BOOTP to DHCP, and then try to load the initial bootfile from a tftp server: that's what I want! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcp-2.0pl5-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the dhcp(bla).rpm off the RH 7.2 CD 2. Enter range-dynamic-bootp and filename directives in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file 3. Enter the special PXE option dhcp-class-identifier and option vendor-encapsulated-options in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file 4. Try to boot a GCT Allwell STB1030 box off the network ( 2. and 3. found in the docs of the syslinux package) Actual Results: Nothing nothing nothing: the GCT Allwell box hangs at BOOTP requests. Expected Results: The GCT Allwell box should have switched to tftp-ing the bootfile I specified in /etc/dhcpd.conf. Additional info: The old version from RH 6.2 will do exactly what I want, even without adding the special PXE directives in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file... GCT Allwell box specs: http://www.gctglobal.com version numers are all results of "rpm -qa |grep dhcp" i.e. what's actually installed on my boxen.
Hmm, if you get a chance could you try rebuilding and using the dhcp-3.0-3 from rawhide? (beware, major version change...) Without access to the actual hardware there's no way for me to reproduce the problem, so the only thing I can do is apply any patches or tell you to try a newer version...
