I'm using 1.5, from the quickstart guide, and set up foreman to do DHCP and
(I think) auto-discovery.
When I power up a node (HP DL360), it successfully gets an IP address, and
looks like it successfully gets the following files from TFTP (diagnosed
from /var/log/messages and tcpdump):
pxelinux.0
pxelinux.cfg/default
menu.c32
pxelinux.cfg/default (Yes, it looks like it downloads this twice)
On the iLO console, I see it come up with the '(local)' menu, but when it
proceeds (either from timing out, or if I hit enter), it shows:
Booting from local disk…
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
…and hangs there. There are no further messages on the console, and I
never see the host come up in the foreman "hosts" tab.
I tried copying the pxelinux.0 file from a known good source, but that
didn't help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Apologies. I assumed the discovery part was built-in, given some of the
videos I had watched.
I'm in the process of installing the plugin now. Will update if I have
trouble I can't solve.

I had problems with PXE and DL 360.
When selecting the boot order to be from the network, the machine was
registering with foreman, geting the iso from the foreman and after it was
deployed, the forman will instruct it to load from disk. In that
transition, the machines always hung. Something related to a memory
corruption.
The solution was to have the machines defaulted to boot from HDD and when
we required to load from PXE, press F12 just for that run.

Thanks, Ignacio.
My installation now does auto-discovery, but I haven't tried to provision
any machines yet. I'll keep my eye out for this issue.
