I am attempting to install RHEL ES V4 U5 on a Dell 2950 server. I am using a Sun server as the DHCP/TFTP/NFS server supplying all data to complete the install. I am able to start the PXE boot. The Dell server is able to download the pxelinux image and also read the pxelinux.cfg file. Here is the cfg file I am using. # Perform a local boot by default default installauto # Always prompt prompt 1 # Display the bootup message display pxeboot.msg # Boot automatically after 30 seconds in tenths of a second timeout 300 label local localboot 0 label rescue ipappend 2 kernel rhel_v4/vmlinuz append initrd=rhel_v4/initrd.img rescue label installauto ipappend 2 kernel rhel_v4/vmlinuz append initrd=rhel_v4/initrd.img ks=nfs:10.1.1.253:/export/redhat/ks_rhel_v4.cfg ksdevice=bootif The kernel image loads from the server via tftp. The initial blue startup screen appears at the start of installation. That is where things start to go wrong. First, even though I have designated KS to use the boot interfaces in the cfg file, I still get an interface selection screen at the start of the install. Why is the selection necessary? Why is the iterface not being set from the hsdevice option in the CFG file? Second, after selecting the interface, I switch to virt console 2 and see the message that the install is attemting to get the ks_rhel_v4.cfg file and the nfs URL is displayed. At the time this is happening I have a network snoop at the Sun server. There is no NFS traffic showing up from the Dell. I am snooping based on the Dell's MAC address. The output on the virt. console indicates that the cfg file cannot be loaded. The network interface is operable on the Dell. I can ping the configured address from the Sun DHCP server. I can also boot the Dell in rescue more and NFS mount the directory that contains the cfg file and also the directory that contains the operating system image. Any ideas why this installation will not complete? <DIV> NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND NONPUBLIC INFORMATION.
