More or less, this is normal: netboot reads the packet, and if it reads correctly, it sends an ACK. Then it gives the packet to the boot image loader, which in turn checks if the loading address for the packet is correct. If not, it terminates the TFTP connection. All other bootroms I have seen so far just shut down their network driver at this point, leaving the sender sending until it times out. netboot at least gives the sender a hint of closing by sending this "disk full" error packet. This appears after the packet has already been ACK'ed. I just don't understand why netboot thinks the TFTP connection should get closed. Does the bootrom print something onto the console, some sort of error message (in the form PXE-xx where xx is the hexadecimal error code)? Could you try to use a boot image which has been created with one of the mknbi programs, just for testing? gero. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Gero Kuhlmann <gero@gkminix.han.de> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
