/**************************************************************************/ [bugs #9245] Full Item Snapshot: URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9245> Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: Gilles van Ruymbeke On: Sun 06/06/2004 at 22:12 Category: Network Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Resolution: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: ruymbeke Originator Email: gvr_grub_bug123--AT--ruymeke--DOT--com Status: Open Release: 0.94 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: ARP or unsolicited UDP traffic stops the GRUB TFTP download Original Submission: When using Grub to Net Boot Cluster Knoppix 3.4 via a RTL8169, grub hangs if it receives ARP or unsolicited UDP traffic before starting any TFTP download (kernel or cfg file). I compiled the latest CVS Grub (June 5th 2004) patched with the diskless pack 3. I can systematically reproduce this after resetting and net grub rebooting one of the machine previously active on the network used by a Knoppix cluster of at least 2 computers. AS info, the machines of the cluster knoppix exchange UDP info every seconds and continue trying to do so after the reset of the computer which prevents grub to net reboot via tftp even though the DHCP transaction is ok. Grub works fine if no traffic hits grub before the tftp download (tcpdump), by disconnecting the 2nd cluster knoppix computer before grub starts on the first computer. I don't know if this is tight to the RTL8169 only or if this is a general problem with all network card adapters yet. More info later... Hope this will help the Grub development and debug, Gilles.
