Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2 Imaging

Situation

HP mini 5101 netbook hangs on PXE after message "no work to do found"

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.3.1 - see KB 7006265 "ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

The fix is done in nvlnbp.sys.

The root cause is that there is not real good defined standard how to give back control to the system BIOS related to memory address used by the BIOS. The relocation address got changed so that the boot process can continue on the HP Mini 5101 netbook as well.
