Hi,

osol-0906 (b111b), ISC DHCP 4.0.0

I'm trying to install a client over PXE as:

r...@mk-xvm-1:~# virt-install --hvm --name node-6 --ram 1024 --os-type=solaris 
--network bridge=vmswitch0 -f /xvm/guests/node-6/root -s 5 --pxe

In the VNC console I can see:
[...]
[rtl8139] - ioaddr 0XC200, irq 5, addr 00:16:3E:22:D8:C2 100Mbps half-duplex
Searching for server (DHCP)....No IP address
.No IP address
.No IP address

and it is stuck here.

dhcp server is working fine for already installed guests (from iso) and when 
started with -d I get:

DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.16 to 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.16 to 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.16 to 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:16:3e:22:d8:c2 via dom0

snoop also confirms that requests and responds are being sent:

OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP DHCPDISCOVER
192.168.1.254 -> 192.168.1.16 DHCP/BOOTP DHCPOFFER
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP DHCPDISCOVER
192.168.1.254 -> 192.168.1.16 DHCP/BOOTP DHCPOFFER


The network topologu is that there is a etherstub created called vmswitch0 then 
there is a vnic called dom0 configured in a global zone with ip 192.168.1.254 
and dhcp server is listening on dom0 vnic. The guests OSes are then connected 
to vmswitch0 via etherbridge (so vnic is autmaticlly created). As I wrote above 
once client is installed from ISO image and configured to use the dhcp server 
it works perfectly fine so it seems like there is some issue with Xen's PXE 
here.

is it a known bug?

btw: what rtl is reporting half-duplex? Why not a full-duplex?
