Hi guys,

I have a problem trying to use pxe and nfs install on
an IBM x366 box. I'd like to mention that I have this
configuration working on a different hardware.

The server boots using pxe but when in tries to do an
nfs mount it times out.

Here are the messages on the client (Alt+F3):

- eth1 has link, using it
- doing kickstart... setting it up
- waiting for link...
- 2 seconds
- reverse name lookup failed
- url is 192.168.1.10:/images/AS3.0U6-x366/kslapp.cfg
- file location:
nfs://192.168.1.10:/images/AS3.0U6-x366/kslapp.cfg
- failed to mount nfs source
- trying to mount device hda

At this point I'm prompted for the type of install and
if I choose nfs then it works fine but I'm not able to
use kickstart....

On the pxe server in the logs I can see:

tftp: client does not accept options

The pxe configuration for this box is:

default RHEL-AS3.0U6-x366

label RHEL-AS3.0U6-x366
    kernel RHEL-AS3.0U6-x366/vmlinuz
    append initrd=RHEL-AS3.0U6-x366/initrd.img 
ramdisk_size=7000
ks=nfs:192.168.1.10:/images/AS3.0U6-x366/kslapp.cfg
ksdevice
=link
ipappend 1

Any help would be appreciated,
Thx,

Gabriel
