[Bug 927781] Re: PXELINUX implementation doesn't respect dhcp ConfigFile or PathPrefix values
I've got code well under way and my cursory testing shows I can handle
208,9,10 fine. Working on 211 (RebootTime)

Title:
PXELINUX implementation doesn't respect dhcp ConfigFile or PathPrefix
values
Status in Linaro U-Boot:
New
Status in “u-boot-linaro” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
The part implementation of PXELINUX in uboot doesn't respect RFC5071 dhcp options:
o "MAGIC" - 208 - An option whose presence and content verifies to
the PXELINUX bootloader that the options numbered 209-211 are for
the purpose as described herein.
o "ConfigFile" - 209 - Configures the path/filename component of the
configuration file's location, which this bootloader should use to
configure itself.
o "PathPrefix" - 210 - Configures a value to be prepended to the
ConfigFile to discern the directory location of the file.
o "RebootTime" - 211 - Configures a timeout after which the
bootstrap program will reboot the system (most likely returning it
to PXE).
These have the obvious interest in being able to provide customised
config and kernels at run time.
Thanks.
