Hi all,
I sometimes want to verify what TFTP is sending, but with
tftp.py now being dynamic, I can't just cat the
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx file. So I whipped up a quick BASH
script to do this, and thought I'd share. Hope someone finds it handy.
That's a good one. I don't know of anything in the SCSI standard that might say
whether a disk is internal or not. My only thought is use controller or
enclosure-specific commands to determine if the port or backplane the disk is
connected to is an external type. The caveats are that you need

It sounds like the problem is with the pxelinux.0 bootfile - that's what makes
the TFTP requests. Is the file your DHCP server is giving out the same as one
that works?

I've always wanted to try, but never got around to, keying off the PXE

If it works, perhaps it should be the default in Cobbler. Here's some HOWTOs:
