To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: TFTP/diskless boot problems since today's cvsupdate Message-ID: <20020818161224.H2393-100000@klima.physik.uni-mainz.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. Maybe this is something serious - or something went wrong within our network. This morning everything seemed to be all right. All of our diskless X terminals booted as expected. I did in noon a recent cvsupdate and build a world, new kernel and rebooted, also our dhcp and tftp server for the terminals. And now I have this: while in the past after recognition of the dhcp server, the terminal showed a short time TFTP (Intel EtherExpress NIC with PXE boot) and I saw kernel booting. Now tftp timed out many times and sometimes it is able to load pxeboot for doing the boot strap. When I checked the most recent cvsupdate I realized that something changed within inetd and tcp facilities. Can anyone confirm those changes? Has anyone else those problems with tftp? It is strange that boot process still performs after several timeouts. Sometimes the terminals boot as expected immediately. On a headless/dataless client I use a 3Com905CTX NIC. This NIC now does not boot anymore, but sometimes it does, but this is very rare. I checked the network, but it hasn't been changed. -- MfG O.
