[ipxe-devel] ipxe.lkrn chainloaded from pxelinux 4.03 does not work anymore

[Thomas Mieslinger]

Hi Michael,

today I learned that I need to issue a

/etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart

after flipping bits in tftpboot to make sure doesn't cache old files. I 
never thought there could still be problems in that code.

So there is no problem with the build system.

Thomas
