Hello everyone,
I just bought the 6501 and I'm having problems getting the device to
boot from pxe. The soekris is seeing my DHCP server and it's getting
the right ip address from it. Here is the boot sequence on my net6501:

TFTP..
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Based on the output of TFTP.. and then existing, it seems not to find the
file it is expecting on the TFTP server. I had the same issue today (the . was
not readable by the tftpd server).
No Boot device available, enter monitor.
The server I have DHCP running on is Freebsd 8. The config looks like this:
code
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.254;

}
host soekris {
hardware ethernet 00:00:24:CE:6E:04 ;
fixed-address 192.168.2.15;
}
/code
The server running tftp(192.168.2.2) is ubuntu. Inetd configured like this:
tftpdgram udpwaitroot/usr/sbin/in.tftpd

and finally my ks.cfg:

I've read 10 articles today trying to figure this out, and I think
I've hit a wall. Can anyone help?

First - take a look at the various log files, particularly the TFTP log file on the TFTP server host to see if there is any indication that you are actually seeing packets. You might see something interest - like the very common issue in which the TFTP server is root-jailed (chroot) so that the pathname of the file the client is asking for isn't consistent with the chroot-ed file system seen by the server. That problem bites me all the time with Linux based TFTP servers. And don't forget to make sure that the Selinux permissions are OK on those servers that run Selinux. Use a manual TFTP client tool to make sure that the server is actually able to deliver the requested file. If not then dig deeper: - Grab a switch with a monitor port - I know that there's an inexpensive Netgear one (less than $40) that can be configured to have a monitor port. - Wire up the Net6501 to the non-monitor ports on that switch so that everything going in/out on the ethernet goes via that switch. - Fire up Wireshark on a handy computer (and use a spare interface - I often use USB based ethernet widgets to get a spare interface) and take a look at the traffic to/from the Net6501. You should see the DHCP and TFTP activity. Dig into it to see what's going on. (If you can fire-up Wireshark on your machine with the TFTP server, it's all the easier and you don't need the switch with the monitor port.) --karl-- ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
