[Dnsmasq-discuss] pxe-service entries in dnsmasq conf seem to fail non-proxy EFI boot

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Hi all,

I'm one of the LTSP developers; I asked Shrenik to contact the dnsmasq 
mailing list because I feel this might be a dnsmasq issue.

Specifically, success or failure depends on whether these five lines are 
commented out or not:

#pxe-service=tag:proxy,tag:!iPXE,X86PC,"undionly.kpxe",ltsp/undionly.kpxe
#pxe-service=tag:proxy,tag:!iPXE,X86-64_EFI,"snponly.efi",ltsp/snponly.efi
#pxe-service=tag:proxy,tag:iPXE,X86PC,"ltsp.ipxe",ltsp/ltsp.ipxe
#pxe-service=tag:proxy,tag:iPXE,X86-64_EFI,"ltsp.ipxe",ltsp/ltsp.ipxe
#pxe-service=tag:rpi,X86PC,"Raspberry Pi Boot   ",unused

You may find the full configuration files and logs at:
https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/pull/417

The reason I feel it might be a dnsmasq issue, is that these tags are 
NOT matched in Shrenik's use case. He's not using proxy mode and he's 
not booting a Raspberry Pi.

So, "pxe-service" lines that are NOT matched, cause the problem,
yet if they're commented out, the problem is gone...

Would that be an issue with dnsmasq, or with the UEFI PXE stack?

Thanks,
