Hey Gang, I'm doing kickst netboots on a lot of machines and wondered how in the heck do you upgrade the version of PXE on the intergrated ethernet boards that are part of the Nightshade intel server board. The problem I'm having is the version of PXE is 0.99c on the card and only get about halfway through the DHCP conversation before they bomb out. Here's the log: Jul 26 15:39:23 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:39:23 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:39:39 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:39:39 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:03 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:03 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:08 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:08 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:17 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:17 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:33 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 Jul 26 15:42:33 jukebox dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 169.144.155.230 to 00:90:27:f6:f8:c9 via eth0 So basically it just goes into this eternal loop and I can't seem to figure out why, the DHCP config is the same I used for the other ones that have .99j version of PXE on the board and it worked fine. Any help would be appreciated as all I can find from intel is points towards the pxe sdk, which I don't think I want to even mess with.
