[ipxe-devel] IPXE failing to boot with multiple cards

[randy silks]

Dear dev team,



Am experiencing booting failure with IPXE.

I have 2 of the same type cards installed in a workstation, one has it's
flash programmed with IPXE the other does not.

When the machine is booted it seems to pick up the unprogrammed cards MAC
address for use in booting.

Booting into IPXE I find ifstat reports the unprogrammed cards MAC address.



I would like to know if a flow chart for IPXE exists, or perhaps where to
look in the code for the area where this all happens?



Thank you

What is the full output from "ifstat", and what are the PCI bus:dev.fn
addresses of the two cards?

Thanks,
