Hi Chris,
Thomas went through all steps with me for a couple of days.. and we both come
the conclusion
that Virtual Box must be the culprit.
I’ve a faiserver as guest and want to pxe boot another guest; the client gets
an IP address but not the pxelinux.0
Connecting locally on the faiserver with a tftp client the download works,
hence the tftp server works.
Does anyone know about this problem with/among VBox guests among each other?
I checked all kinds of network VBox offers: Nat, Nat network, Internal Network,
Bridged.. no way.
Thanks so much!
Best,
Chris
I'd confirm your findings: I tried a similar setup a while ago (FAI 4
server and FAI client as VB guests on an OpenSuSE 13 host) with a myriad
if different VB network settings and none worked. I finally gave up
after a few days. However it worked fine, when having the FAI server as
VB guest and the FAI client being a real ("metal") PC in our network. I
consluded, that the internal VB PXE/TFTP/Bootp server was "somehow"
interfering with FAI's.
My conclusion: Save your energy and don't try this kind of setup :-)
