So, we're evaluating Prox, and I'm getting kind of a weird issue.

I've configured ProxMox, and everything is working, except my Linux Kickstart environment, which is a known good config as I install/reinstall RHEL systems from this system almost daily.

It's working fine with VMWare and baremetal, however, with Prox I'm continually getting DHCP "No configuration methods succeeded (040ee119)

So as a test, I used a running Windows instance on the proxmox server to try obtaining a DHCP address from the required DHCP server, and that worked.

I did the same test with another running linux box on the same proxmox host, and it was able to obtain an address from the same DHCP server.

So, I know the networking config on Prox appears to be properly configured seeing both hosts were successful at obtaining an address from the target DHCP server.

So, it doesn't *seem* to be a DHCP issue, I can see the requests getting to the DHCP server, but it's like the response is not being accepted by the iPXE environment.

I'm using the SeaBIOS bios, and tried some of the debugging that's available at the ipxe.org website, but to no avail. I know this probably isn't a Prox issue, but I figured I would ask and see if someone has had this issue.
