I'm trying to install ubuntu on 5 machine via a netboot. I downloaded pxeboot.tar.gz from the ubuntu site and started to stup a dhcp/bootp, tftp server on a slackware box. The clients can't boot and says that it doesn't receive any dhcp offers. But according to my /var/log/messages:
box dhcp: DHCP-discover <mac address> box dhcp: DHCP-offer <ip address> so the clients receives the information on the ip address. Assuming that I have dhcp working properly, I played around with my /etc/inetd.conf for tftp tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -v -s /tftpboot -r blksize i tried blksize, blksize2, timeout,and utimeout for the -r options but nothing worked. I'm using an ecs kt600 motherboard with a built-in via rhine 2 lan. The lan boot shows "Intel UNDI PXE 2.0" i get errors like PXE-E51: no DHCP offers received and later a PXE-M0F (I forgot what it is but i think it came from the result that no bootimage was found) where do you think can be the problem? I use tftp-hpa and dhcpd by isc (all stock slackware 10.0 packages) -- Allan M.
