Well, googling has failed me. We've got a pxeboot setup, but we keep getting, in the logs, parse_option_buffer: malformed option dhcp.bootfile-name (code 67): option length exceeds option buffer length. This is CentOS 6.2
No such option is listed in the dhcpd.conf man page. Get rid of it, the filename directive before that is all you need.
That's fine... but getting rid of that won't make the original annoyance go away.
If you remove the dhcp.bootfile-name option line, how will that not fix your problem?
I just added that Friday. We've been getting the original error message for weeks? months? for the configuration *without* option dhcp.bootfile-name
For example, Apr 2 13:45:44 <hostname> dhcpd: parse_option_buffer: malformed option dhcp.bootfile-name (code 67): option length exceeds option buffer length.
which is the annoyance I was trying to fix. At that time, the dhcpd.conf section for pxebooting was group { allow booting; allow bootp; filename "pxelinux.0"; option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0; option routers <subnet IP elided>; default-lease-time 172800; # 2 days. max-lease-time 432000; # 5 days.
