Hi all, I am having a rough time getting pxegrub to boot on a silicon
mechanics whitebox. I compiled the source from grub-1.96, and tried the
svn version, both with the same results. I haven't yet tested any other
systems, however this is what I see from tcpdump on the server (there is
only one client on this specific network):
8% snip %8
The PXE client at this point is just sitting there doing nothing. Does
this look familiar to anyone? Not sure if the bad checksums have
anything to do with it. It might be worth nothing that the PXE server is
a virtual machine bridged to a NIC on the host.
Broadcom & NVIDIA PXE Roms are the worst in my experience - slow and buggy.
I've had to upgrade ROMs on motherboards with these before.
I'd start by making sure you're using the latest tftpd-hpa server. Then test booting
the latest pxelinux.0 from syslinux.zytor.com.
If that works, then your grub2 build process might need a look-see.
