Hi
I am attemptiong to do PXE boot install to a machine that has no optical drive and doesn't support usb installations.
I have setup a TFTP server with DHCP all works well when i test it on a laptop, but if i attempt it on a desktop, then it loads the default file and then turns to a blank screen and the machine halts completely, with no more anything from the machine, not even keyboard response after it.
if i check the TFTP server logs, this is what i get:
Rcvd DHCP Discover Msg for IP 0.0.0.0, Mac 00:E0:18:AA:94:DE [11/02 20:31:47.572]
