Hi again,
I don't know if there were answers yet, I am not subscribed. Please CC
me.
On a different note, I tried to boot Debian_SID from the Server, which
also fails with completely different issues. It doesn't even load the
kernel it just hangs. On the tftp-Server I see the stuff attached.
I did a lot of googling on that, but didn't really find an answer. It
ranges from "not an error, don't worry"[1], to "its fatal and the
network hardware's fault or PXEGrub can't andel Gbit-Cards"[2].
Obivously the first isn't true, since it doesn't work. Obviously the
second isn't true, since it can load the freebsd-kernel and modules
without issues.
Thanks for your help,
