Hello list, pxelinux is stuck in the following place: PXELINUX 2.11 0x4321babe ... My IP address seems to be AC1300FE 172.19.0.254 ip=172.19.0.254:0.0.0.0:172.19.0.1:255.255.255.0 TFTP prefix: Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-49-49-c9 (waits here for a while before proceeding to...) Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AC1300FE tcpdump shows me: IP 172.19.0.254.57091 > 0.0.0.0:69: 50 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-0c-29-49-49-c9" Which can't be right, because there's nothing at 0.0.0.0. I probably need to add the "next-server" option to the dhcpd.conf, but can't PXELINUX just use the DHCP server as the fileserver? (And, I seem to recall that it worked "before" even without any next-server statement, but don't assume it.)

They removed that default without warning. -hpa

They removed that default without warning.Only apt-get on some Debian message displayed a warning when I upgraded that old box.>So what's the result here? Will this be fixed in tftp? Is there a patch? > Or is it DHCP issue which has to be fixed there?Edit your dhcpd.conf and put a "next-server <myip>" in there, where myip is the ip of the dhcp server.
