Hi,
I've mostly set up a kickstart for RedHat 8.0.
I'm using the instructions posted by Alf W. :
http://www.stanford.edu/~alfw/PXE-Kickstart/PXE-Kickstart.html
The whole thing works, except when I go to reboot the system it hangs.
ie.
TFTP Prefix:
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AABBCCDD
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AABBCCD
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AABBCC
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AABBC
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/AABB
...
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Booting from localdisk
And then it just sits there. If I understood what it was looking for here,
I'd probably be able to troubleshoot it better. It does seem to find my
default file which has:
default linux
label linux
localboot 0
My /boot directory looks reasonable (there are initrd, vmlinuz images)
I'm running on a P4 Intel, PXELINUX 2.00.
When I change my BIOS to boot from hard disk before the NIC, it boots up
just fine.
Can anyone point me in a direction to hunt or let me know if I can provide
more info.
Thank you,
Leila.
