<div>Hi Paul, thats is the output from the console. In terms of traffic, the client request the boot file and loads it twice (I dont know why, and it happens sometimes when loading a kernel image too). Theres no resquest of any other file.</div>

</div></div>So it'd be helpful if you give the make and model of the h/w - looking<br>
up the Firmware version that seems to be an IBM Power6 machine of some<br>
sort without a HMC.<br>
<br>
Can you capture the console output of a boot with a yaboot built with DEBUG=1<br>
<br>
What is boot-device set to and what do you see on the network in terms<br>
of bootp/tftp traffic?<br>
