similar to: PXELINUX: DNS issue on unqualified names [PATCH][git-pull]

Per doc/pxelinux.txt, the special PXELINUX filename specification of "IP address::filename" allows "IP address" to be a DNS recognizable name. If it contains no dots, the domain name (DHCP option 15) is supposed to be appended to qualify the name. Testing PXELINUX 3.86, this behavior does occur as I can see the DNS request having the specified domain name appended properly.

Currently it appears that when PXE booting the domain search option is ignored and only the domain name option used for name resolution. The following patch adds support for domain search path usage when PXE booting: - adds parsing of the DHCP domain search option (119) - When resolving names via dns_resolv uses the search path if there's no dot in the name. - Reverts to the

Digging more, loadfile("192.0.2.1::pxe.0", &file.data, &file.size), queries DNS, which sounds like it doesn't follow the same call path as a COM32 calling pxe_dns(). If the DNS won't resolve the IP, things won't load properly. pxechn.c32 sets sname in the intended packet to "192.0.2.1" which may be confusing something. More debugging needed. -- -Gene

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> Despite having native network capabilities, UEFI 2.4 (the most widely deployed at the moment) has no native DNS resolver. I propose here an implementation more or less inspired by the one found in core/legacynet/dnsresolv.c. Since it's non-trivial, I'd like to ask for a deep review of this code. I tried to make it as strong as

Hardcoded options for PXELINUX (embedded in the pxelinux.0 binary by pxelinux-options) was introduced in 3.83. While working on documentation, I decided to try it on 5.10, verified that 209 (config-file) was set as an after option and saw no change in behavior. I then tested the same as a before with no change. I then tested 3.86, found it working and tested 4.06 and 4.00 and found them broken.

I found that INT 13h AH 08h in BOCHS used ES, DI, at least when using a partitionless HDD, causing "Boot error" from the magic check as it was loaded to the wrong location. HPA suggested wrapping INT 13h with the push/pop for ES's safety. This then lead to checking over for all int 13h calls in
