jumpstarting / tftp download fails

Hi,

I setup a Solaris 10 x86 /1106 jumpstart server. I was able to install a Dell Latitude D420 using this jumpstart server. However if I try to install another x86 machine the booting process hangs after fetching the correct IP from the DHCP server.

the last line ist

TFTP....

and after timing out booting fails.

tftpd seems to start correctly on the server (ps shows in.tftpd running) but I don't know what goes wrong.

How do I debug the tftp sessions on the server side? even setting *.debug in syslog.conf did not help.

Or is there a problem with the pxegrub file....no idea.

any hints?

Thanks & Regards

I'd start by snooping the client from the server. You should at least see the beginning of the tftp connection. Verify the file it is getting.On the server, try tftping to itself. Can you get the same file that the client is requesting?-- Darren

Thanks Darren,the problem was caused by the MTU setting of the server's interface. I reduced it in order to allign the DSL MTU with my internal network. For whatever reasons some boot PROMs seem to tolerate this. I now have a setup which works well for my PCs.
