[syslinux] PXElinux booting trouble with asus a8n-vm csm + linksys srw2024 combination
Hi, I'm trying to get our 30 node cluster booting from remote server via pxelinux but have problems with the following mobo / switch combination. linksys srw2024 switch + asus a8n-vm csm mobo Maybe somebody saw similar problems elsewere and can recomend any solution. mobo bios is flashed to the newest available one. An extremly simplified test setup which shows our problem: PC1 -> SRW2024 <- PC2 PC1(192.168.1.1) was booted with knoppix, terminal server enabled PC2 was set to PXE network boot in bios screen of PC2 : --- >>> --- >>> --- >>> --- NVIDIA Boot Agent 220.0518 [...] CLIENT IP: ___.___.___.___ <- got walid ip from PC1 dhcp server GATEWAY IP: ___.___.___.___ <- got walid ip from PC1 dhcp server PXE-E11: ARP timeout PXE-E11: APR timeout PXE-E38: TFTP cannot open connection Reboot and select proper Boot device --- <<< --- <<< --- <<< --- Any other switch works fine with this mobo and any other mobo works fine with this switch(even ones with older version of nvidia boot agent). Any ideas how to get this thing working? Thanks in advance, Gergely
