[syslinux] menu.c32 HP Proliant DL360 G5 localboot problem
Hello. Recently I've ran into problems with HP Proliant booting off the network with menu.c32. Configuration -- several identical servers: HP Proliant DL360 G5 HP Bios P58 12/26/2006 Bootblock 09/18/2006 HP SmartArray E200i Controller (128MB, v1.20) Broadcom NetXtreme II Ethernet Boot Agent v2.8.5 When localboot is chosen from menu.c32 menu I get standard "PXE-M0F Exiting ...", screen clears, cursor is blinking at the top left corner and nothing happens. If I boot with standard pxelinux.0: default local label local localboot 0 and chose local after "PXE-M0F Exiting" server successfully boots from the HP SmartArray E200i drive. The described problem is observed with 3 of 4 identical servers (at least identical bios, network card, smart array controller). One server does successful continue to boot from smart array drive when localboot is chosen from menu.c32. Just to let everyone know. Regards, Petya.
Apparently Analagous Threads
- No localboot on HP Proliant with Smart Array and menu.c32
- Intel Boot Agent GE 1.2.36 vs tftpd-hpa 0.48
- anyone using pxelinux.0 > 3.36 successfully with HP DLXXX G3, G5?
- pxelinux doesn't answer ARP requests when it should
- HP Dl360 G5 with Accelerated iscsi
