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.
Given the fact that the dev86 package only is available on x86 platforms, it's not likely that this is going to happen.
Question; what is the dependancy on dev86?
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'"? :).
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?
