Snow Leopard as PXE server doesn't work anymore with Debian Lenny

Question

Hello
I was using a box with Mac OS X 10.6.2 as a PXE boot server, providing a Debian Etch installer as boot image.
I wanted to upgrade to the Debian Lenny PXE image, but it doesn't work anymore.
I m not sure how I can debug that. I m a sure of one thing, switching for the Debian Etch image to the Debian Lenny one triggers those kernel log messages during the PXE boot, and the host who tried to boot hanged ( a Virtualbox VM).

My /private/tftpboot/ tree is created from the http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/n etboot/netboot.tar.gz archive. I used http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/ netboot/netboot.tar.gz for the Debian Lenny tree.
So, can someone help me ?

Answer 1

I disabled bootp. In verbose and debug, everything seems to go well. The option 128 isn't accepted by the daemon, i disabled it too, the TFTP server is the same server than the DHCP, so it still works.
Here s the log when using the Debian Lenny image, almost the same than with Debian Etch image.
