Hi,
In installed from scratch my server with Proxmox 5.0, in 4.4 I was able to PXEboot my guest.
Since I'm now in 5.0 it does not work anymore.
I had also problem to configure the OVS (my config from 4.4 was not working anymore :-( ).
I can see some other users having network problems.
Anyone have some idea?
Thanks
 
Doing some Wireshark debug, I discovered that DHCP request are 'Malformed packet' so DHCP is not seeing "option user-class" correctly (should be iPXE) so it did not give the correct info to netboot.
 
For the record, I'm also dealing with my guests not being able to pxe boot, using iPXE.
 
could you provide a trace of the client DHCP request, as seen from the DHCP server log , in Pve 4.4 and Pve 5.0
 
Hi Manu,
If you are replying to my comment, I was able to get this sorted out. Missing option in DHCP for this particular scope.

thanks,
