In this thread: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-February/008014.html I reported that IBM Opteron servers with Broadcom BCM5780 chipsets would freeze randomly in the PXE menus from the SYSLINUX 3.35 tools vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32. There did not seem to be any reason for this nor systematics in when the servers would lock up. The solution is now available: Upgrade your IBM servers to the latest Broadcom firmware released...

...tems were never downloaded, so the lock-up must occur before a TFTP get is attempted. Apparently, the SYSLINUX problem is specific to this type of chipset. The IBM x326m server has a Broadcom chipset with this dual-Gigabit Ethernet controller on the motherboard: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5780 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) It has the latest IBM firmware: Version 1.20.25, November 09, 2006, and the Broadcom firmware update utility reports the version as 5780-v3.24. I'd love to get SYSLINUX menu control of my IBM servers, so I wonder if anyone can solve this problem ? -- Ole Holm Nielse...

We're using PXELINUX for bootstrapping the network install our Linux cluster nodes. We just got some new IBM 326m dual-Opteron servers with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5780 dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports. These dual-Ethernet servers work in an annoying way with PXELINUX when we configure for booting from the local hard disk as the PXE-client downloads this file from the DHCP/TFTP server: label harddisk localboot 0 The first Broadcom Ethernet port correctly does DHC...
