<BLOCKQUOTE cite=mid:1161.1289310915@keycomm.co.uk type="cite"><TT>The #MPCPathBoot# prefix is a special path within the bootserver as far as I am aware - sort of a virtual root I guess. It is a legal file name on Windows and *NIX (though not a name I would use...)</TT> <br>
<TT>In my reading of this then, I should be asking HP to get this addressed in the gPXE source code as it's not a bug in the TFTP server, though I may be wise asking for an enhancement for that too to use more "friendly" path names...?</TT> <br>
<TT>Many thanks for your assistance so far!</TT></BLOCKQUOTE><br>
<TT>Yes. HP might already have a new firmware image available for you to try, but I already see in the most recent source code that it's an issue, so I doubt it will resolve this. It's worth approaching HP about, who will most likely then approach QLogic.</TT><br>
<br>
<TT>There were a few other changes to the Phantom driver (your NIC's driver) that Michael Brown has worked on, so the next time QLogic or HP provide a firmware image, you might find that it has iPXE included.</TT><br>
<br>
<TT>In the meanwhile, if anyone comes up with a change to the source code which resolves your issue, I'm not sure how you could flash it into the NIC, or if that'd void any warranty you might have, since it didn't come from HP. However, if we can resolve your issue, you could build a CD or USB stick or even a floppy disk and change the boot order on the HP computer so that it boots such a device, rather than the NIC. The device would then boot a version of iPXE/gPXE which could work for you. I only suggest that as an interim measure until HP could provide an update.</TT><br>
<br>
<TT>I hope this information is useful.</TT><br>
