[Qemu-devel] [Bug 588731] Re: PXE boot not working

[Anthony Liguori]

I can't reproduce this.  I'm using:

commit d9b73e47a3d596c5b33802597ec5bd91ef3348e2
Author: Corentin Chary <address@hidden>
Date:   Tue Jun 1 23:05:44 2010 +0200

    vnc: add missing target for vnc-encodings-*.o

I'm using the command:

sudo x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -net tap,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -boot
n -net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000,name=e1000.0 -chardev
socket,id=monitor,host=0.0.0.0,port=1024,telnet,server,nowait -monitor
chardev:monitor

The DHCP server I'm using is dnsmasq and it pxe boots as expected.  I've
also confirmed that pxe boot is still functional after a system_reset.

Please include information about the exact version of qemu that you are
using and the DHCP server that is configured on your network.  Please
also try to reproduce with the latest git.

After doing a system_reset ....
