Bug#571168: installation-reports: netboot archive cannot be used with Mac OS X 10.6.2 bootp/dhcp daemon for PXE boot due to menu configuration file
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
The netboot archive provided with Debian Etch installer works well with the Mac OS X 10.6.2 bootp/dhcp & tftp daemons. It allows to install Debian Etch without any problem.
Switching to the Debian Lenny (or Squeeze) netboot installer fails to install Debian.
In the file debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/menu.cfg the problem is at the line which include the txt.cfg file.
With this line, the PXE boot process stop after having read the pxelinux.cfg/default file.
Replacing the line include txt.cfg by the whole content of the txt.cfg file resolves the problems and allow the install to run from the PXE boot sequence.
It seems that a kernel error message appears in the log file of the Mac OS X host :
Feb 23 23:06:48 macbookpro kernel[0]: in_delayed_cksum_offset: ip_len 51456 (201) doesn't match actual length 215
The problem might be resolved in a same way on squeeze.
