I was trying to build up a pxe based booting system on my network which has a dhcp server. I am trying setting up a pxe server which would have tftp service and pxelinux.0 file

On running the client i found the following error :
PXE-T01: file not found
PXE-E3B-TFTP Error file not found
PXE-M0F exiting Intel boot agent

I have checked the tftp service that runs fine on the system , what could be the probable error , the dhcpd.conf also seems to be OK.

The problem is solved, i made a few changes in my dhcp.conf file and it worked , my dhcp conf file now looks like this

1 option domain-name "cse.iitk.ac.in cc.iitk.ac.in iitk.ac.in junta.iitk.ac.in";
2 #option domain-name "cse.iitk.ac.in";
3 option domain-name-servers dns.cse.iitk.ac.in, dnsbak.cse.iitk.ac.in, 172.31.1 .1;
4 option routers 172.27.16.254;
5 option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0;
6 option netbios-name-servers 172.27.16.7;
7 option nis-domain "cse";
8 option smtp-server 172.27.16.2;
9 default-lease-time 600;
10 max-lease-time 7200;
11 next-server 172.27.17.48; # this was the address of my PXE server
12 use-host-decl-names on;
13 filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; # this line made the diff my earlier file name was /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.0

14
15 subnet 172.27.16.0 netmask 255.255.240.0 {
16 }
Thus a minor correction in line 13 made all the difference

I have been looking all over the web for a solution to this issue.

Thanks, this fix did the trick.

I get this exact same error on FC10 running FOG 0.26. I've checked dhcp conf, and it is simply "filename=pxelinux.0". I assume this is correct because I don't have the "linux-install" subdirectory. I am using a windows server for DHCP and I have configured items 066 and 067 properly in Scope Options.

Has anyone run into this problem and had success with another solution?

...it was caps lock. HAH I actually had "PXEBOOT.0" on my windows server. I feel like a doof. Good thread anyway!

Hi Guys,

Where is my DHCP.conf located?

I've tried sudo nano /etc/dhcp.conf

Thanks,

Jed

Metaljed,

First the system must be setup as a DHCP server. Then the file you will need to edit is /etc/dhcpd.conf.
