[et-mgmt-tools] kvm pxe boot again

[Farkas Levente]

hi,
i try again pxe boot for a guest on out kvm server. the setup:
- host:
   - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
   - Intel S3000AHV
   - 8GB RAM
   - CentOS-5.1
   - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 x86_64 64bit
installed:
-----------------------------------------
gtk-vnc-0.3.6-1.x86_64.rpm
gtk-vnc-python-0.3.6-1.x86_64.rpm
kmod-kvm-70-1.2.6.18_53.1.21.el5.x86_64.rpm
kvm-70-1.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-0.4.3-1.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-devel-0.4.3-1.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-python-0.4.3-1.x86_64.rpm
python-virtinst-0.300.3-6.noarch.rpm
qemu-0.9.1-8.x86_64.rpm
qemu-img-0.9.1-8.x86_64.rpm
virt-manager-0.5.4-4.x86_64.rpm
virt-viewer-0.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm
-----------------------------------------
when i try to create a new guest and run it from virt-manager this 
command is running:
-----------------------------------------
root     16423 98.2  0.1 908016 14368 ?        Sl   12:02   1:18  \_ 
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name test -monitor pty 
-no-reboot -boot n -drive 
file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img,if=ide,index=0 -net 
nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:2c:c2:0a,vlan=0 -net 
tap,fd=36,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet6 -serial pty -parallel none -usb 
-vnc 127.0.0.1:6 -k en-us
-----------------------------------------
the default ethernet adapter is e1000 and etherboot try to boot, but 
can't find the dhcp server. the host has a bridged network and there is
how can i debug it?
on which interface should the guest request the dhcp? i run tcpdump on 
eth0, peth0, vnet6 but none of them has any kind if icmp trafic.
is it a kvm, qemu or virt-manager bug? how can i found out the reason?
thanks.

the host's interfaces are:
