Is tftp booting still working for anyone?
I haven't been doing it for a few months and just
tried and found it's mysteriously not working.
Upon investigation, it appears that only tftpd
and one other UDP server still use the announce/accept/listen
dance, and all the other UDP servers have been rewritten to use
a routine called openlisten that does an announce and then
just opens the data file and peers at the headers of incoming packets.

we are using it for a bunch of machines everyday for months and we dont
have any problem. but i am not sure if a source rebuild will make it fail.
are the wires connected properly and are the ethernet LEDs fine? does
'ip/tftpd -d' give any clue? if you use dhcp client, does it get the ip
address successfully? did u try running snoopy in the server? usually, i
try these things.
thanks
