ipxe + qlogic 8242 ± dumb user = fail
hi

i did
make bin/undionly.kkpxe DEBUG=undi,undiisr,undiload,undinet,undionly,undipreload,undirom,undiloader
from git 99de239 (2012-02-28 14:53:28Z) and it fails to DHCP the
NIC it was PXE-loaded from, even though it was PXE-loaded at the
direction of a DHCP server:

iPXE> dhcp
UNDINIC 0x17430 opened
DHCP (net0 00:0e:1e:06:f0:b8).................. Connection timed out (http://ipxe.org/4c106035)
Could not configure net0: Connection timed out (http://ipxe.org/4c106035)

iPXE> ifstat
net0: 00:0e:1e:06:f0:b8 using undionly on UNDI-PCI07:00.0 (closed)

[TXE: 4 x "Error 0x00000006 (http://ipxe.org/00000006)"]
iPXE>

the error URL (that's a brilliant urlerror() system, by the way) says
that the error 6 isn't referenced in the current code base, so i should
update. hmmm

boot failure (i.e., if i didn't Ctrl-B it) looked like

PXE->EB: !PXE at 9B07:0060, entry point at 9B07:030C
UNDI code segment 9B07:2690, data segment 90FF:A080 (579-630kB)

RE: ipxe + qlogic 8242 ± dumb user = fail
In general you should be using undionly.kpxe unless your BIOS is one of those few ones that require undionly.kkpxe to work properly.

There has been some changes to UNDI support since you tried last, so it's worth to try again. Also, I would verify that your vendor PXE ROM is the latest version. I seem to recall there are qlogic-related people subscribed to the mailing-list, so you might get better feedback there.
