as it can be seen from my screenshot it (the kvm bios) can't found the 
hdcp server. so it's nothing to do with pxe. on the same kvm host other 
guest are able to use dhcp, but of course in that case the os's (fedora 
and centos) dhcp client, while in my case kvm bios emulation's dhcp 
client. boht the host and guest is on our labs without firewall and 
selinux disabled. dhcp server is on another server on the same lan.
if i run on the host:
tcpdump -i peth0 icmp
i didn't got any kind of packages.
so what else can i do?
how can i find the reason?
