This is the patch that "fix" this issue... I have been using this patch for almost a year and works perfectly
static int dhcp_send(struct netdev *dev, struct iovec *vec) { ... - bootp.yiaddr = dev->ip_addr; + bootp.yiaddr = INADDR_ANY; + bootp.flags = htons(0x800); ... } I have been talking to Debian people (Daniel Baumann, )who have proved their complete lack of understanding/interest; they just do not care about this bug. Talking to them is wasting my time; hopefully Ubuntu will fix this soon. NOTE: Please consider ipconfig needs to know (command line parameter) if your server is of type "bootp" or "dhcp", if this parameter is wrong ipconfig gives up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327412 Title: Delay during PXE Boot, IP-Config gives up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/1327412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
