Hi all...

We have a small cluster in which slaves boot diskless from the master.
It had been running fine with Mdk8.2, with dhcp-2.x and tftp. The clients
have an on-board Intel 100Mbit ethernet card that has PXE.

After the upgrade to cooker (so dhcpd is 3.x), I have not been able to boot
the nodes anymore. Problems
- some vendor-space related options in dhcpd.conf did not work after
  the upgrade
- after I can get dhcpd to start, the server receives client petitions,
  gives offers with an IP, but the client PXE rom does not acknowledge them

I have a private 100Mb network for booting and managing, and one other 1000Mb
for MPI.
The master has the dhcp daemon, to give addresses and point to the next server
and file (tftp, pxelinux.0). No pxe server installed, as I understand that
everything cam be done just with dhcpd and tftp...

Someone has a setup like this and got it working with current cooker ?

As this can be slightly off-topic for the list (apart from the changes needed
for new dhcpd), you can mail me off-list if you want...

TIA
