[syslinux] timeout: retrying... with atftpd and pxelinux
I'm trying to network boot a thin client using pxelinux. I had this working about a year ago but have since reinstalled my OS (went from RH9 to FC2). I'm using atftpd. The thin client gets the dhcp address fine and requests pxelinux.0. Eventually, it just times out. Here's the relevant info from /var/log/messages: Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: Advanced Trivial FTP server started (0.7) Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: started by inetd Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: logging level: 6 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: directory: /home/jbodnar/projects/jambox/boot/ Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: user: nobody.nogroup Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: log file: syslog Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: server timeout: 300 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: tftp retry timeout: 5 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: maximum number of thread: 100 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: option timeout: enabled Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: option tzise: enabled Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: option blksize: enabled Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: option multicast: enabled Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: address range: 239.255.0.0-255 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: port range: 1758 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: Serving pxelinux.0 to 192.168.1.15:2070 Oct 7 23:14:36 home atftpd[4717]: blksize option -> 1456 Oct 7 23:14:40 home atftpd[4717]: Serving pxelinux.0 to 192.168.1.15:2071 Oct 7 23:14:40 home atftpd[4717]: blksize option -> 1456 Oct 7 23:14:41 home atftpd[4717]: timeout: retrying...

The only other change I've made (besides switching the server OS) is I replaced a dlink switch and am now using a dlink wireless router, but am only using the switch portion of it for this project. -- Jason Bodnar jason at shakabuku.org http://www.shakabuku.org "You want free speech?

[syslinux] timeout: retrying... with atftpd and pxelinux
Well, isn't this interesting. I googled for any old messages I might have posted about this when I got things working the first time. Sure enough there was a post about setting ip_no_pmtu_disc so I did that and it still didn't work. So I added --no-blksize to the atftpd params and still couldn't get it to work. On a whim, I decided to go back to tftpd-hpa and the thing booted faster than I could see it! Not sure why atftpd didn't work but I'm not going to worry about it.
