  • 1.  DS 7.1 Unable to PXE boot HP 635. Restarting dhcp client service retry 15..

    Posted Feb 02, 2012 11:55 AM

    I have followed the procedure to add the drivers to the preboot, then went to create the preboot configurations, clicked recreate preboot environment, gone to the DS server and performed update on the client, seen bootwiz.exe appear for a while then go.

    Gone ton the client to PXE boot, and receive

    Restarting DHCP client service: retry 1...

    this just continues forever.

    Any ideas on the driver that I need? I have gone to the link below and tried to add the x64 and x86 drivers with no success.

    Hi, and yes i followed the procedure and this driver apears in the list (see pic)

    Ive been working at this for a few hours, how can i make absolutely sure that i have the correct driver?

    I can boot this laptop into windows, im guessing I would need to marry up the hardware IDs to the actual ones on the laptop nic and the drivers db in picture 1.

    I will post the device manager nic hardware id's of the actual laptop when im back in work tomorrow.

    Is there any other information or things that I shoud be looking for?

    thanks.

    p.s one other thing, is that the laptop HP 635 Notebook PC, when I pxe boot this I can only see the menu items for x86, I do have in my list the option for x64 but they dont display when i pxe boot this client.

    The OS pre installed on the hp 635 is a x64 windows.

    This morning i pxe booted the laptop and it worked first time. I didnt touch it from yesturday and it still had these issues.

    Maybe it needed more time for some reason.

    This speaks to some sort of package replication, but it's tough to tell.  There are quite a few daily scheduled tasks that run overnight.  Often these issues settle out within a day, which is why I'm more likely to work these issues for 1-2 hours and then leave them for a day or two.
