Issues During the PXE Boot Process
Situation: If any of the following occur during the boot process:

The PXE boot ROM sends a DHCP request extended with PXE specific options,
but the request is not received.

The DHCP responses do not contain the DHCP options (DHCPOFFERs) that
include the NBP filename and boot server lists.

The PXE client attempts to download the specified NBP over TFTP from one of
the specified boot servers, but fails.

The PXE client does not execute the downloaded NBP.
Outcome: If any of these issues occur, the boot process continues using the next
available device in the boot sequence.
PXE Error Codes
Table 14-1 PXE Error Codes
Error Codes Possible Reason Comment/Solution
Init Error Codes
PXE-E01: PCI Vendor and Device
IDs do not match! The PCI BIOS passes
Bus/Device/Function numbers in
AX register when it initializes the
OptionROM. If the vendor ID &
device ID did not match the
vendor ID and the device ID in the
device's PCI configuration space,
with the UNDI device PCI structure
defined in UNDI driver
initialization code, this error is
displayed. This message should never be seen
in the production level BIOS.
PXE-E04: Error reading PCI
Configuration space Any of the PCI BIOS INT 1Ah calls
to read the PCI configuration
space failed. This should not happen with any
production level motherboard
BIOS.
PXE-E07: PXE BIOS calls not
supported. The PCI system BIOS does not
support INT 1Ah services. This should not happen with any
PCI BIOS as all PCI BIOS must
support these services.
