Thanks, I figured out what I was doing wrong. Basically I
misunderstood how gpxe worked. What I was trying to do is install
ubuntu over the network using something like BKO. I didn't realize the
instructions were to install/boot over my own network. Once I dl the
gpxe.dsk from BKO I realized how it works and I was good to go.

The problem isn't necessarily with DHCP. Unless you are using an
embedded script in your gPXE bootloader, DHCP is obviously doing it's
job. gPXE is trying to load tftp://10.0.2.4/Ubuntu.net.pxe (which I
assume came from DHCP directives next-server 10.0.2.4; and filename
Ubuntu.net.pxe;) and complaining that the file isn't there. So that
suggests that either the file name on the TFTP server does not match
what you've set in DHCP (Is the case the same?), or the file isn't in
the folder that your TFTP server is set to point at.
If you can't find the error with this information it would probably be
useful to post your dhcp config file, tftp config file, and a directory
listing of the folder your tftp server is pointed to.

Subject: [gPXE] Can't figure out why this won't work
I've been trying to set this up without any joy. I can't figure out
what's wrong. I followed the directions here
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/appnoted but when I boot through
virtualbox I get the error shown in the screenshot
http://imagebin.org/130538. No matter what I do I get this screen.
It's like it's ignoring the dhcpd.conf file but it isn't because if I
make a mistake in the file and restart dhcp it'll give me an error. I
also used the example in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMwauwshm_E. It works like his video
when I download his gpxe.dsk file but when I use the one I compiled I
get no where. Any suggestions?
