Daniel, 1. Do you have logging of the TFTP server, too ? Does the client actually download the kernel and initrd by TFTP ? 2. Does the DHCP server log the DHCP broadcasts both from PXE, and later as well when the kernel is booting on the client ? 3. You mention device eth1: Are you sure that this is the correct network that is connected to the server (seems there should be an eth0 as well). Are you sure that the client's PXE actually works on eth1, and not only on eth0 ? Maybe this is a BIOS option ? 4. You could verify your server's setup with a completely different PC, which would then point to the trouble being on the x330 client... 5. You could set up your DHCP server so that it gives leases to any MAC-address requesting an IP-address (no "deny unknown-clients;"), and then assign an IP-range to such clients. Would tell you if you had the wrong MAC-address.

Got past DHCPDISCOVER (tcpdump was showing a different MAC address, I finally sat in front of the console and saw the "correct" MAC address and replaced that in dhcpd.conf). The first PXE attempt responds (in server logs) with "tftp: client does not accept options." Then, about 15 seconds later, it tries again, and this time boots into busybox (I see the logs which get sent to the server's syslog). Then I'm stuck here: kernel: checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd And then tons of DHCPDISCOVER's on lo and eth1 to 255.255.255.255 which never get answered (it finally gives up with "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." I've set up a fixed address for this node (which works at the first DHCP for tftp). Any idea what's going on here? Oh, there's no way for me to manually test the PXE client AFAIK. It's the planar intel (uses e100 driver) on the x330's. Dan W.
