Re: [Users] ovirt 3.1 guest pxe boot fails

Hi, I've checked this issue with ipxe-roms-qemu from default fedora repo (ipxe-roms-qemu-20120328-1.gitaac9718.fc17) - same behaviour: first time system pxe boots fine after domain start, but after guest-reboot - pxe boot fails, cant get ip from dhcp and malformed packets on bridge interface. And same situation with fedora host not connected to ovirt (vm created with virt-manager)
