Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:11:00 -0400 Message-ID: <4A410CA4.8030506@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: initramfs-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: "" Just a quick thought. The netboot tests currently create a server and client qemu image. Why are we using -kernel and -initrd on the client-side qemu? Wouldn't testing PXE with the dhcp + tftp server on the server-side be more realistic? Additionally we could use -net tap* instead of -net socket, which would allow brctl setfd of a large value like 20 seconds to simulate the link delay in the test suite.
