Subject: | Can't boot from network with multi-NIC client&server :( |
Date: | Tue, 26 Nov 2002 14:00:04 +0800 |
We use grub to boot diskless
workstations from Network (with PXE). The server is a 2-way P4-Xeon(hyper-thread) with two Ethernet NICs. We found that the
grub can't boot the client when the two NICs were both connected. I thought it
didn't add/reflash the arp entry when the server answered the tftp request with
another NIC(different from the one grub get the DHCP answer). Another problem is found
when the diskless client has two NICs. The grub seems not able to work when it
get only one DHCP answer. It seems won't boot until the other NIC get a dynamic
IP from server. The mechanic will be harmful in remote-boot blade servers. :( Feng Shuo Special Class for Gifted Young, Email: address@hidden National Engineering Centre for High
