I'm sending this mail again since i didn't get any answers the first time. I really hope any of you can help me with this! I'm having problems booting using PXE. I have a Realtek RTL8139C with Realtek bootprom and PXE v. 2.12, MSI K7 Turbo motherboard with Award BIOS v. 6.00. I have checked the hardware and it's supposed to support PXE boot. I have set the BIOS to boot from LAN (first boot device) and I've got the dhcp-server 2.0 which comes with Red Hat 7.2. The problem is that at boot the client prints out Realtek bootprom bl.a. bl.a. bl.a. but then after a while it goes on to boot from the next device in this case the hd. Do i have to press a button to activate the PXE boot (like pressing F12 on some Intel NICs) or change any swith on the motherboard or something? I don't have a wake-on-LAN cable connecting the NIC to motherboard (although I've tried with that and got the same result). I've also tried listening for a bootp request or something from the PXE client using tcpdump on the server and I cant see any activity whatsoever. What's wrong? /Andreas Lindblom -- Get your firstname@lastname email at http://Nameplanet.com/?su
