EFI pxe network boot error
- by Lee
Asking this on both [serverfault][1] and [superuser][2].
When attempting to network boot RHEL 5.4 on an old ia64 machine I get the following error :

So I've basically followed the tutorial here : [http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/sles9/adminguide-sles9/ch04s03.html][4]
DHCPD,TFTPD etc are already setup and working with standard x86 PXE clients.
I've unpacked the boot.img file into /tftpboot/ia64/ and passed the path to the elilo.efi file via DHCP with the filename ""; option.
Changing this filename generates a PXE file not found error (see below). So I assume that PXE has found the file...

The only thing wrong I can find in the logs is :
Jan 6 19:49:31 dhcphost in.tftpd[31379]: tftp: client does not accept options
Any ideas? I'm sure I hit a problem like this a few years ago but I can't remember the fix :)
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
