Hi Even if the UNDI driver works some times, in your setup it isn't really supposed to work, and I'm surprised that it does. On the other hand, the e1000 driver is supposed to work, and I think we should debug that.
Please try a gPXE build with DEBUG=e1000. It's definitely helpful if you can use the serial console because there will be a lot of output. Please try 'dhcp net0' with the debugging options enabled and capture all the output on the serial port. Wait until the output stops, or at least slows down(that means dhcp is finished). Then please put your capture at http://etherboot.pastebin.com/ or attach it as a file to a mail Thanks Thomas On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 6:04 PM, Patrick Cervicek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Shao, > > On Thu, 19 Nov 2009, Miller, Shao wrote: > >> In regards to http://etherboot.org/support/issue55: To clarify, are you >> trying to boot a gPXE USB storage device but use the UNDI driver? > > I did not choose a driver explicitly.
