Mike,

   I could not recreate your issue in my environment. I tried to use the
   xnba to boot the rhels6.2 to a vm which running on a host of rhev-h6.3
   (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 6.3
   (20121121.0.el6_3)).

   The xnba.kpxe in my env was installed by xnba-undi-1.0.3-7.noarch rpm
   package.

Thanks
Best Regards

Subject:        rhev vms hanging during pxe boot



i am experiencing a problem with network booting some vms on rhev-h 6.3
hypervisors. the vm was created and was configured to use xnba as the
network boot agent as well as rhels6.2 as the OS and set to run the
installer. when the vm starts, it loads gpxe which gets a dhcp response
and loads xnba.kpxe. it then hangs. http://imgur.com/dkwEC is a
screenshot of the state of the vm.

i edited the dhcp configuration of this node so that the vm's native
gpxe loader would run the script xnba would load. the guest booted
properly after making that change. that leads me to think there is a
problem chainloading xnba on top of the gpxe in rhev-h 6.3.

do any of you know what might be the cause of this or any potential
fixes for it?

thanks

mike
