SANDeploy Diskless PXE boot error list

PXE-E00: Could not find enough free base memory.
PXE BaseCode and UNDI runtime modules are copied from FLASH or upper memory into the top of free base memory between 480K (78000h) and 640K (A0000h). This memory must be zero filled by the system BIOS. If this memory is not zero filled, the relocation code in the PXE ROMs will assume that this memory is being used by the system BIOS or other boot ROMs.

PXE-E01: PCI Vendor and Device IDs do not match!
This message should never be seen in a production BIOS. When the system BIOS initializes a PCI option ROM, it is supposed to pass the PCI bus/device/function numbers in the AX register. If the PCI device defined in the AX register does not match the UNDI device, this error is displayed.

PXE-E04: Error reading PCI configuration space.
This message is displayed if any of the PCI BIOS calls made to read the PCI configuration space return an error code. This should not happen with a production BIOS and properly operating hardware.

PXE-E05: EEPROM checksum error.
This message is displayed if the NIC EEPROM contents have been corrupted. This can happen if the system is reset or powered down when the NIC EEPROM is being reprogrammed. If this message is displayed the PXE ROM will not boot.

PXE-E06: Option ROM requires DDIM support.
This message should not be seen in a production BIOS. PCI option ROMs must always be installed as DDIM option ROMs (they must be installed into read/write upper memory).

PXE-E07: PCI BIOS calls not supported.
This message should not be seen in a production BIOS. PCI BIOS must have PCI BIOS services.

PXE-E08: Unexpected API error. API: xxxxh Status: xxxxh
This message is displayed if a PXE API returns a status code that is not expected by the runtime
loader.

PXE-E09: Unexpected UNDI loader error. Status: xxxxh
This message is displayed if the UNDI runtime loader returns an unexpected status code.

ARP Codes

PXE-E11: ARP timeout.
The PXE ROM will retry the ARP request four times, if it does not get any valid ARP replies, this message is displayed. This error can be caused by a number of network and service configuration errors. The most common are:

Setting the DHCP Class Identifier (option 60) on the DHCP server and installing theproxyDHCP on a separate machine.
Using routers that do not respond to ARP requests.

BIOS and BIS Codes

PXE-E20: BIOS extended memory copy error. AH == nn
This message is displayed if the BIOS extended memory copy service returns an error. This should not happen on a production BIOS. nn is the BIOS error code returned by the BIOS extended memory copy service (Int 15h, AH = 87h).

PXE-E21: BIS integrity check failed.
This message is displayed if the BIS image in extended memory has been corrupted.

PXE-E22: BIS image/credential validation failed.

BIS could not be initialized. No more data is available.

PXE-E24: BIS shutdown failed.
BIS could not be shutdown. No more data is available.

PXE-E25: BIS get boot object authorization check flag failed.
Could not determine if BIS is enabled/disabled.

PXE-E26: BIS free memory failed.
Could not release BIS allocated memory.

PXE-E3A: TFTP too many packages.
This message can mean one of two things:

You are trying to download a file using TFTP that is larger than the allocated buffer.
You started downloading a file as a slave client using MTFTP and the file increased in size when you became the master client.
PXE-E3B: TFTP error ¨C File not found.
