[ale] PXE Boot Errors

[Brian Pitts]

Hi,

I'm having trouble PXE booting a batch of Compaq Evo N1000v laptops. The
same setup works on a different Compaq model. These laptops have Intel
Boot Agent 4.0.18, PXE 2.1 build 083.

The error messages on the laptop are:

pxe-t04 "missing mode"
pxe-e36 "error received from tftp server"
pxe-m0f "exiting intel pxe rom"

I get different messages in syslog if I use tftpd-hpa or dnsmasq as my
tftp server.

tftpd-hpa:

"client does not accept options"

dnsmasq:

TFTP sent /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.186.187
TFTP error 0 TFTP Aborted received from 192.168.186.187
TFTP failed sending /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.186.187
TFTP sent /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.186.187
TFTP error 0 TFTP Aborted received from 192.168.186.187
TFTP failed sending /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 to 192.168.186.187
TFTP unsupported request from 192.168.186.187

Attached is tcpdump's recording of the process.

Any thoughts?
