Hi,

In the end the problem was SR-IOV enabled on the cards. I turned this off and everything worked ok.

Im using HP 10G cards which are rebranded emulex.

0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 01)

Thanks,

Andrew

I don't see any tftp traffic on either the physical host or on the pie server. I am using a bridged interface. I have tried using several virtual nic drivers, several different mac addresses and several different ips.  on the physical host I can get the pxelinux.0 file from the pxe server via tftp and can clearly see that traffic with tcpdump.
