Stopped working - Re: [xcat-user] Can't get node to appear on dhcpd.conf (or dhcpd.leases)?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I figured what the problem was! (Although i still don't understand why 
it happened in the first place...).

I had to add some options to dhcpd.conf for it to understand what GPXE was:
option space gpxe;
option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;
option gpxe.bus-id code 177 = string;

Phew... luckily i came across this on the messages file:
Dec 23 01:01:08 xcat-gw dhcpd: network client line 1: no option space 
named gpxe.
Dec 23 01:01:08 xcat-gw dhcpd: send host-name "hypervnode01";if exists 
gpxe.bus-id
Dec 23 01:01:08 xcat-gw 
dhcpd:                                              ^

;o)

Best,
Lu?s
