## Observation 
 I found ```scooter-1.qe.prg2.suse.org``` and ```bare-metal6.qe.prg2.suse.org``` can not boot from ipxe because ```no media present```. Actually media is present, for example: 

 ``` 
 #!ipxe 
   echo ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 
   echo ++++++++++++ openQA ipxe boot ++++++++++++ 
   echo +      Host: scooter-1.qe.prg2.suse.org 
   echo ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 ``` 

 The boot process reports: 

 ```

 ## Steps to reproduce 
 * set ipxe boot script for scooter-1 and bare-metal6 
 * boot from ipxe 


 

 ## Impact 
 ipmi backedn tests can not run with these two machines 

 ## Problem 
 Looks like connection is broken ??? 

 ## Suggestions 
 * Recent network changes 
 * Recent worker changes 

 ## Workaround 
 * Manually check if the system boots if you select a boot device. If you really find that no network connection can be established then please report a ticket to IT as we don't have access to the switch to check if the port is disabled or if the cable connection is faulty or incomplete n/a
