Hello, The symptoms you are describing sound familiar and most probably you are hit by a bug in the PXE BIOS code that causes wake-on-lan support needed for some boards to break others. There's more information about the problem on the kernel mailing list: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/8/271 Basically to fix the problem it should be enough to compile your own kernel for the clients with the following patch applied. That has fixed the problem with various client models we are using, but I haven't used those exact boards so your mileage may vary. --- drivers/net/via-rhine.c.orig 2006-08-18 19:26:24.000000000 +0300 +++ drivers/net/via-rhine.c 2006-08-20 13:30:43.000000000 +0300 @@ -1965,7 +1965,7 @@ } /* Hit power state D3 (sleep) */ - iowrite8(ioread8(ioaddr + StickyHW) | 0x03, ioaddr + StickyHW); +/* iowrite8(ioread8(ioaddr + StickyHW) | 0x03, ioaddr + StickyHW); */ /* TODO: Check use of pci_enable_wake() */ Hope this helps, Veli-Matti Lintu ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
