Good day Das,
Are you using Nortel 470-48T layer 2 switches?
Would you care to share the VENdor and DEVice IDs for the HP ProLiant
BL460c G6 Server's NIC or do you already know there is no gPXE driver?
undionly.kkpxe will only have the UNDI driver, meaning it's relying on
the original NIC's PXE. Who might that be? If you are doing gPXE ->
gPXE (as would be the case with some QLogic/NetXen NICs), this could be
a complication worth discussing.
If the DHCP transaction is your only point of failure, you may use:
set use-cached 1
dhcp net0
within your embedded script, which will take the IP parameters from the
same DHCP transaction which send gPXE to the client.
