Jumpstart Client Issue

I have a jumpstart client that is not requesting the tftp boot file. The rarp function is working, hostname and ip are set ok, but it hangs after that.

tcpdump output:

Code:

jumpstart-server:/var/lib/tftpboot# tcpdump -i eth1
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

This jumpstart server has worked on 150+ clients in the last 6 months...just seems to be this one client (v445).

I have reset OBP values to defaults, power cycled the client a few times, and did a reboot of the jumpstart server.

What are the next options? TIA
