RE: [Linux-ia64] PXE Boot

Mike,

I saw the same thing a few months ago when I tried it (even when
I replaced the elilo.efi with a 1-byte file, I still got the same
error ... so the size of the file isn't the issue). I didn't
get around to chasing this ... but I wondered whether there was
a failure to communicate the size correctly between the boot server
that I was using (Lion running linux ... I forget which versions of
dhcp and tftpd were present, and that machine has been re-installed
so I can't check) and the bigsur that I was trying to boot.

Hi,

I'm trying to boot a Big Sur workstation (Firmware 117C) via the
network. The workstation receives an address via dhcp and when starting
to download elilo.efi I get the following error message:

PXE-E05: Download buffer is smaller than requested file.
Load of PXE boot failed: File not found

Does this message really indicate the buffer is to small, or is this a
symptom of a different problem?

Mike
