pxe

I'm trying to get my atomic pi to pxe boot.

I'm not seeing the dhcp request on the server. But after it boots to the preinstalled image, I see that dhcp to the server and it gets an ip ok.

I do see a bit of network traffic when it is at about the point it should be trying to pxe.

Doing a tcpdump, it looks to be just ipv6 solicitations during the bios part of the boot:
06:36:07.582478 IP6 (hlim 255, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 8) :: > ff02::2: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, router solicitation, length 8
06:36:08.021397 IP6 (hlim 1, next-header Options (0) payload length: 32) :: > ff02::1:ff4c:909c: HBH (rtalert: 0x0000) (padn) [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, multicast listener reportmax resp delay: 0 addr: ff02::1:ff4c:909c

06:36:15.710722 IP6 (hlim 255, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 8) :: > ff02::2: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, router solicitation, length 8
06:36:17.523300 IP6 (hlim 1, next-header Options (0) payload length: 32) fe80::207:32ff:fe4c:909c > ff02::1:ff4c:909c: HBH (rtalert: 0x0000) (padn) [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, multicast listener reportmax resp delay: 0 addr: ff02::1:ff4c:909c

I have a 8 port desktop netgear gigabit switch and have the dhcp server (laptop) and the atomic pi plugged into it.

I tried switching the order of ipv6 and ipv4 booting, as well as setting the two retry values higher in the bios.

I have also tried connecting the laptop and atomic pi directly together, so I do not believe it is an stp issue.

Any ideas?

Did you ever get your system to PXE boot.
I see similar issues with mine.
I'm trying to boot off of a Windows box running ServA.
I also only seem to see the Linux boot request an IP Address.

In order to boot via PXE, I had to disable SCC eMMC support. After doing that, the PXE menu came up on boot.
