Hello again, Ok, so I finally had some more time to play with this stuff. Using gpxelinux.0 from syslinux 4.04 and "localboot 0" hangs my server, it says on the console: Booting from local disk... PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. <hangs here, no further output> Using "localboot -1" instead works OK. Here's the output from dmidecode from RHEL 5.6 running on that problematic server: - http://pasik.reaktio.net/gpxelinux/dell-c6100/dmidecode.txt - http://pasik.reaktio.net/gpxelinux/dell-c6100/lspci.txt - http://pasik.reaktio.net/gpxelinux/dell-c6100/lspci-vvv.txt Hardware info: - Dell PowerEdge C6100 server, (latest) BIOS version 1.56. - I'm PXE booting from Intel 82576 GE NIC, firmware version 1.3.64. Anything else needed to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks, -- Pasi _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list gPXE@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
