[ipxe-devel] Error code 280860 : link down, driver not loaded ?

[Géraud Guibert]

Hello M. Brown, 

For sure, this code is confirming that the network is down, as
told by ifstat and route...

Here is the script :

#!ipxe

# wait/force interface to be up !?
sleep 2

set otdns x.x.x.x
set otweb www.ourwebsite.fr
set otipxe ipxe/otboot.ipxe   

set ip y.y.y.y
set netmask 255.255.0.0
set gateway y.y.255.254

set net0/dns ${otdns}
set net0/ip ${ip}
set net0/netmask ${netmask}
set net0/gateway ${gateway}

config
set http_s https
chain ${http_s}://${otweb}/${ipxe} ||

set http_s http
chain ${http_s}://${otweb}/${ipxe} ||


So for the moment passing by the config ipxe to check,
then CTRL-X to validate and let it go

No magic here, because doing exactly the same thing manually
with the same parameters and facing the problem (if interrupting
the ipxe too quickly) , as said in my initial email.
;-)

Thx
Sincerely yours
Geraud Guibert

That error indicates an unopened network device.  Most likely your
embedded script is missing any command that would open the network
device (e.g. "ifopen" or "dhcp").

What is in your embedded script?
