Hi Brad: What does "rpm -qa | grep tftp" show? And can you check to see if it is working properly?
Not sure about tftp logs, they might be in /var/log/messages. And I do not think pfilter will affect tftp, though you mentioned that you have already disabled it. You could probably try to use etherboot to test your tftp: http://rom-o-matic.net/5.4.2/ Just create a boot floopy ROM disk for your network card and see if it goes. If it does, and plain network booting doesn't work, then there's something wrong with your nic... Cheers, Bernard P.S. In regards to swapping nic cards, as long as OSCAR now has the MAC address of your _new_ nic, then it should work fine. > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Aisa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 11:26 > To: oscar devel > Cc: Bernard Li > Subject: RE: can't load image anymore after pxe boot > > Yikes!
