Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-5 Severity: minor When configured with a prefix of '(pxe)', and without specifying a 'next-server' option in dhcpd.conf, grub hangs at boot after making the following TFTP requests.

If I either change the prefix to '(pxe:10.0.0.1)', or specify 'next-server 10.0.0.1;' in dhcpd.conf, grub boots correctly. I'm not sure if any standard specifies what to do here, but pxelinux from syslinux 1:3.71+dfsg-5 did not require this additional piece of configuration: it happily defaulted to the IP address of the DHCP server. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (550, 'stable'), (530, 'testing'), (520, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.98+20100804-5 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.48-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
