[Netboot-general] Image Download Problem (block 1067)

[basil <el...@ce...>]

Hello,
my boot process stops when it is downloading the boot rom.
The last 4 lines say
Options: Blocksize 512
Block 1067
Bootrom error: PXE-20
Network boot failed.

I have read a thread that spoke about the same problem at this list. But 
the solution is not  so   good (to chacnge my network card). Althought i 
dont have the same model. Mine is Realtek 8139.
ANyway some more information.
Memory size 49152 Kbyte. No use of ramdisk . I am using nfs share. CPU 
pentium mmx 166. Award Bios 4.51PG.
The ethereal spying shows that the last packet sent is 1070 and as a 
reply it doesnt get an acknowledgement (as previous packets did) but an 
error message saying : Disk full or allocation exceeded [Malformed 
Packet].. Then follows an ARP request from the server of the clients 
MAC. End.

And a note. You see above (in the error message ) it says BlockSize 512. 
But spying the negotiation with Ethereal one can see at the begining 
that the client says: TFTP read request [............]  Option: blksize 
= 1432, Option tsize =0. What is this blksize? And why is it different 
from the Blocksize Message issued at the screen of the client?
