[ipxe-devel] UEFI mode works, but not quite for legacy BIOS mode

[Christian Nilsson]

net0: 34:97:f6:5a:fe:e8 using undionly on UNI-PCI04:00.0 (open)
  [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:1 RX:0 RXE:0]
  [TXE: 1 x "Network unreachable (http://ipxe.org/28086011"]
Configuring (net0 34:97:f6:5a:fe:e8).................... No configuration
methods succeeded (http://ipxe.org/040ee119)

DHCP fails.
* Cable problems, or switch having STP or similar causing not getting link
up before iPXE dhcp times out.
* DHCP server not responding, it does respond to the initial PXE request
but maybe not to iPXE
* undionly uses the UNDI PXE driver, maybe it is bad for your BIOS.

Only the first of these seems likely, you could try pressing Ctrl-B and
then typing out autoboot and pressing enter, and maybe retrying that if it
fails the first time.

Please remember to follow the recommendation at the error url that is
printed in the error message (http://ipxe.org/040ee119)
