[ipxe-devel] DHCP configuring error 0x40ee186

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

Hi

I have tried to reply to this thread, but it seems that the forum does
not like me :)

Therefore I copy the reply to the old good analog mailing list :)


Hello. I am having the same issue with 8086150e.efi and ipxe.efi using
the latest version

d38bac05e7d0eb67fc19f3532a6b4fa00804106e [build] Include Hyper-V
driver in the all-drivers build

This patch fix the issue for me.

[code]

        route();

        /* Try PXE menu boot, if applicable */
[/code]

For me the error was the following:

Press ctrl+b on boot
ifconf net0 #: 90%of the times this fails
(ifstat shows TX4 TEX0 RX 0 RXE0)
ifconf net0 # So far it has never failed on 2nd attempt
ifconf net0: # So far it has never failed on 3rd or more attempt

The patch is just was is working for me, it is not ment to be merged :)


Cheers
