| + | I am not sure if this problem is from gpxe or from pxelinux. My guess is that, it should be gpxe problem | ||
| + | as same setup is working fine with my version of gpxe code.\\ | ||
| + | all my modifications are listed on page [[pxekniferomomatic]] | ||
| + | ===== Error Location ===== | ||
| + | Problem should be because of latest gpxe code ///pub/share/pravin/gpxe.git//, because when I use the code which I normally use on my machine (which is copied on ///pub/share/pravin/gpxe//), it works fine. | ||

| + | | ||
| + | MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN is erroneously set to 6 rather than 14, resulting | ||

| + | Following command works in my old pxe, but does not work in trubbled pxe. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $ make bin/rtl8139.dsk | ||
| + | $ qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/share/pravin/pxeDHCP.gpxe | ||

| + | ===== Going one more level deeper ===== | ||
| + | Testing if generic network booting over http works or not by using __-bootp [[http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe]]__ | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **This works for both problematic and good gpxe** | ||
| + | |||
| + | So, the problem lies in transition from | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe | ||

| + | ===== The commit causing problem ===== | ||
| + | used git bisect to find the problematic commit. | ||
| + | the test used to check if commit is correct or not is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | make clean | ||
| + | make bin/rtl8139.dsk | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/share/pravin/pxeDHCP.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Commit used as last known good commit is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git bisect good f4bf4e6 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Following is the problematic commit. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
