Hi there !I've some trouble starting the pxe linuxboot 4.9 with some dell vostro workstation with the following NIC: Broadcom Netlink BCM57780 It seems that no eth interface are found and it's dropping to shell.
This was a bug in the Linux kernel v2.6.34. See the following list thread for information that I collected at the time I was experiencing it:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4BF5A2FC.10209%40campnavajo.comIn the thread, I explain where I found patches for the bug, and how to apply them. Thankfully, they are no longer needed in Unattended SVN trunk, since this bug is fixed in Linux kernel v2.6.35. The kernel version currently in trunk is v2.6.35.8.
I can't tell you exactly when it was fixed in the kernel, but here is the commit:

What should i do ?
The only thing you can do really do about this is building linuxboot from trunk. And the easiest way to test it without burning a hundred CDs is by using the patch in ticket #1 to boot it from a USB flash drive:
