It's definitely a dnsmasq problem. If I go into /var/lib/cobbler/settings and change from dnsmasq back to isc, then It's pxe booting!!! And I move on to the next problem. After the VM boots, it complains about an Error Downloading Kickstart file. The url it gives me to tweak is the correct url, checking with a browser I see the kickstart is where it's supposed to be. Ctl-Alt-F3 to look at the log, there's the problem: 10:18:44 INFO : getting kickstart file 10:18:44 ERROR : no network device in choose network device 10:18:44:ERROR : no network drivers for doing kickstart 10:18:44:ERROR : unable to bring up network Not sure what to do next. <div> On 8/9/07, drew einhorn <<a href="mailto:drew.einhorn@gmail.com">drew.einhorn@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div>On 8/9/07, Michael DeHaan <<a href="mailto:mdehaan@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> mdehaan@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > Individual networking issues are beyond my ability to debug over > email, and probably the scope of this list. > > You might want to see if you get the same problem with ISC and whether > you get DHCP offers for your VMware > guests when using your existing DHCP config.</blockquote><div> It was working before I switched to dnsmaq from whatever the default was, I assume it was ISC, but I'll have to go look. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > If any of those remove the problem, you have a dnsmasq config problem > -- otherwise, it might be something > else.
