[Etherboot-users] Using Etherboot with alternate BOOTP/DHCP ports

[Cristian M. <cri...@on...>]

  hello,

  I'm trying to use a second DHCPD server for some LTSP stations and I 
don't want to disturb the already existing dhcp setup. So I modified in 
src/Config and enabled the option to use the 1067/1068 port for the 
newly created ethernet boot files.
   I boot using a zlilo file and I see that the client sends the right 
dhcp request (on port 1067) and the dhcpd server sends back a dhcp offer 
with the right fields (next-server, filename, client address, routers, 
etc), but Etherboot reports 'No IP address' and the boot process cannot 
continue.
  I set up the second dhcpd server (ISC v3.0.2) with 'local-port 1067' 
in dhcpd.conf and since it offers a DHCP lease for Etherboot this 
clearly works.
   I cannot see the reason Etherboot does not see the dhcp response 
(offer) and is not taking it into consideration, is there anyting else 
the dhcpd server must send back ?

  tia,
