NFS booting problem

["Joe_Wulf" <Joe_Wulf yahoo com>]

I've got an on again, off again problem where I can initiate a kickstart for RHEL5 (32 or 64 bit), as well as

for RHEL AS4 (32 or 64 bit) and many times the NFS mount for the KS config cannot be found.  Then,

after numerous reboots to troubleshoot the problem, poof, the NFS mount is found and some systems

get built.  Nothing changed.  Even reboots of the kickstart server, the Linksys router and the Mac Pro

(with WinXP and VMware 6 installed) don't change that many restarts have to happen before it will

somehow, magically start building.

 

A most confusing problem and one that I need insight, advice and questions from you all on what to

check so I can solve it.  All help is appreciated!
