Your issue is configuring gPXE to provide sufficient information to PXELINUX. The error was probably "Unable to locate configuration file" with the second IP address as "0.0.0.0". You'll need to set DHCP options 209 and 210 if you wish to avoid TFTP completely. Those are the search keys you're missing. http://etherboot.org/wiki/httpboot?s[]=209#using_pxelinux If you want to have PXELINUX load the configs via TFTP and go the more classical PXE route, you'll need to set next-server and filename (either as-is or scoped under net0/ ) but HTTP is definitely more reliable and most of the time faster. There's also a config command that shows a nice TUI (as opposed to the CLI). 'config net0' would probably be your best choice. -- -Gene _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list gPXE@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
