Issue with installing RHEL from a Kickstart file/pxe from httpURL

[dclark at micron.com]

Check out the log file on the pxe server - we periodically get timeout
issues
On the workstations during the pxe boot install. Someone in our group
said they
Trim down the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and re-start the dhcpd daemon and all
is well
Until the next time. Typically you will see an error :

<hostname> DHCPDISCOVER from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx via eth0: network
xx.xx.xx.xx :no free leases

Regards,

dgc

Yes , the DHCP IP address allocation is working fine.
Confirmed from the dhcp log messages.

It contacts tftp server to fecth the kernel and initrd.
After that, it fails to get the KS file from the mentioned location/URL
:(
