I am fairly sure this has been discussed on list at some point, but the messages I can find on google don't appear to still be in the archive. Or I am blind, always a possibility.
Anyway, I am playing with a 3Com 3c2000 series card which comes packaged with its own driver software. When you install the driver module the card sends and recieves data successfully. When I was trying to turn off the onboard fast ethernet card to remove possible confusion (never did figure out how to do that) I noticed that the bios could see the gigabit card and claimed it could pxe boot it. I was very happy and tried adding that machine to my cluster. It successfully booted to the network card, successfully sent its mac to the server, I collected it and assigned it an IP. Rebooted again and it successfully talked to the DHCP server and got its IP. Then it tried to connect with TFTP and get the immage and timed out. Clearly the card is working, and clearly it is communicating with the server, so I am confused as to why TFTP would not connect. Is this a pfilter issue or is the BIOS just almost, but not quite, good enough to get through? I have a version of the mkbootdisk script but I have been having trouble getting it to run even with Benoit's fairly specific directions. Thanks for your patience. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
