Additional notes

(Please edit this page to include any of your own useful hints and tips for fixing this error.)

This error generally indicates that the DHCP server has not provided either a filename or a root-path for iPXE to boot from.

Things to try:

Use the iPXE command line to perform DHCP manually, and check that the correct filename and/or root-path are obtained from the DHCP server:

    iPXE> dhcp
    DHCP (net0 52:54:00:12:34:56)... ok
    iPXE> echo ${filename}
    wdsnbp.com
    iPXE> echo ${root-path}
    iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:snubfin-win2k8

If you are trying to use TFTP, then check that you have also configured your DHCP server to provide the TFTP next-server address:
```
    iPXE> dhcp
    DHCP (net0 52:54:00:12:34:56)... ok
    iPXE> echo ${next-server}
    192.168.0.1
```

Capture a packet trace showing the DHCP request from iPXE and the response from the DHCP server, and check that the correct filename and/or root-path are present in the response.

If your DHCP server was previously configured to respond to a DHCP user class of “gPXE” then you will need to reconfigure it to respond to a DHCP user class of “iPXE” instead.
