[gPXE] Gpxe on an BL460c G6 / Flex 10

[Patrick Neuner - Futureweb.at]

Hi,

thanks for your suggestions, that’s what I tried:
undionly -> doesn’t find nic.  (latest and 1.0.1)
Compiled latest and the same.

Probably I am not understanding some basics.

The nic – does it need any special settings, as you say it reuses the pxe stack.
I had pxe enabled/disabled. Thought it doesn’t matter if I am not chainloading.

Also I am not sure how to tell what kpxe it should use, as once compiled,
it will have all drivers and hang’s with memory within the .iso
So that only the undionly is available.

I don’t seem to find any docu about that?

Thanks

Patrick Neuner

It should work with undionly as it reuses the pxe stack otherwise download and compile from
Git - look through the mailing list for examples.  Also, there is a patched version that has the
latest broadcom code -  also on the list (search for broadcom).

Hi,

I would like to use gpxe on a hp bl460c G6, but don’t have success that it find’s the nic.
I am a newbie with gpxe.

I tried rom-o-matic with undionly, with all drivers, and compiled it myself (latest build aswell as 1.0.1) as it was mentioned here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.user/6719  as

I am booting it from a cdrom.

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe
02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe

02:00.0 0200: 14e4:1650
02:00.1 0200: 14e4:1650




I found some information on the net talking about using undionly.kpxe,

which is available when you compile it. But I am not sure if the iso from compiling is using,

and we are not chaining it, as we don’t have any other pxe environment.

So am I heading here somewhere wrong, or is it the Virtual Connect from HP, that splits up the 2 NIC’s into 8 NIC’s that can become visible on the node,
and this confuses the software.

If I say all drivers, it hangs when freeing memory.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
