Bug#253717: atftpd fails to work with 3com PXE card 3c509c-txm
Package: atftpd
Version: 0.6.3
Architecture: powerpc
I've been mucking about with netboot/PXE/RPL and finally managed to
netboot pxegrub. This is great, except the PXE card i was using does not
belong to me. I found a 3com 3c509c-txm that does belong to me, and has
PXE. However, the 3com card with the same configuration does *not* work.
192.168.6.3 is the machine with the PXE 3com card, and 192.168.6.7 is
the DHCP/tftp server.
[A /etc/inetd.conf]
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd --daemon --no-multicast --tftpd-timeout 0 -m 1000
--verbose=7 /tftpboot
[/A]
Yes, i know, it should not be user 'root'. I was trying the same
configuration of another post I googled for, where it said these options
had been used successfully on a 3c509-tx

It worked fine with the other card, but not the 3c509c-txm.
Just to be sure, i'm doing...
apt-get remove --purge atftpd
rm /etc/default/atftpd
apt-get install atftpd
[B dpkg configuration of atftpd]
Configure server? Yes.
Start server by inetd? Yes
Server timeout? 300
Port for tftp request? 69
Retry timeout? 5
Maximum threads? 100
Enable 'timeout'? Yes
Enable 'tsize'? Yes
Enable 'block size'? Yes
Enable 'multicast'? No
Verbosity level? 7 (Log_DEBUG)
Base directory? /tftpboot
Log to file instead of syslog? No
okay, then...

I'm not sure where to go except submit a bug report and hope someone
knows where to go from here.
This may or may not be related to debian bug #236164.
