Hi,
Just a "me too" report. I can confirm this to be a problem on most
of our Gigabit Cisco switches (I have to owe you the exact type
id-s, I'm now working from home) and our Foundry core router.
Tried all configurations with Spanning tree disabled etc. No avail.
We get our kickstart stages through TFTP/etherboot/DHCP. Same problem:
First stage (load PXE image) OK
Second stage (load etherboot image) OK
Third stage (get filename paramater from DHCP to NFS repo) FAIL
On the server side we see (DHCP-REQUEST --> DHCP-ACK)*
The e1000 just doesn't want to see the ACK... Put a 10/100 HUB in
between and everything works fine.
I'm not so sure if this isn't a driver problem instead of kickstart
related.
Cheers,
Jeroen
