Checking with the ascii table this looks correct. However, the client
says it cannot find /var/remoteboot/tftpboot/pxelinux.0. Removing the
tftp-root= setting in dnsmasq.conf makes the client get the correct
/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 so the problem seems to be in dnsmasq.
It's behaving as designed: You've set the TFTP root to be
/var/remoteboot, so filenames are relative to that root. The client asks
for /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 so dnsmasq tries to send
/var/remoteboot/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 which doesn't exist, so it returns
an error, which inlcudes a message giving the complete pathname. That's
what the client it displaying.
Note that if the filename includes a leading /, dnsmasq will also try
assuming it's an absolute pathname, but only if the first part of the
filename matches the tftp-root.
In a first look I didn't find any places where this concatenation
could happen. Note that the tftp server is not the machine running
dnsmasq in this case.
Now I'm confused. What is the TFTP server?
The dnsmasq log shows no TFTP request but I
vaguely remember Simon saying that these are not logged.
File-not-found is not logged, since it clutters up the log with lots of
failed attempts by PXELinux to read possible config files.
Cheers,
Simon.
