ipxe timeout

[mastacontrola]

While I realize this thread is a little outdated, I'm getting the same types of issues. With multiple systems.

I am writing on behalf of the FOG (Free Opensource Ghost) Community as we've just released and are using ipxe for PXE boot environment for the http options and dynamic capabilities from php.

All of that said, I can't possibly provide all of the information for every person having these issues. However, I, too, am receiving the 040ee119 error message from VirtualBox. (It's all I have to test with and I'm sorry.)

I have been able to create an ipxe.kpxe and everything works fine in VirtualBox using this. (Without needing to set delay)

Creating/Using the undionly.kpxe, however, does not work in a specific set of sequence. (Unless I follow the guidelines to set the bridged adapter DELAY=0)
o As I know how to reproduce I'm not trying to fix my error specifically, but narrow down possibilities of where the issue actually lies.

My current version number is: (f747a) from the git pull from (15-MAY-2014).

My Virtual Box that get's the timeout (indefinite if in retry loop) settings are as such if you have the capability to reproduce:

Operation System of Host:
Virtual Box 4.3.10 (93012) Hosted Headless from CentOS 6.5 (Final) with extension pack: Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.10-93012.vbox-extpack

That is just one of the systems, I have multiple, all using Intel NICs.

iPXE Configuration:
ipxescript contains for FOG setup:
#!ipxe
:retry
sync --timeout 500
dhcp || goto retry
chain default.ipxe

To build undionly.kpxe I'm running:
make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=ipxescript

ifstat after the dhcp fails:
net0: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX using undionly on UNDI-PCI00:11.0 (closed)
o [Link:up, TX:4 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]

route after the dhcp fails:

Hopefully this helps.
