the driverdisk option in the .cfg file

[Harner Keith-FKH006]

Sure,

I get:
*ASSERT: no network device in choosenetworkinterface
*Unable to bring up network

So even though the host will PXE load a kernel it still cannot get to a
network resource?

My goal is to eliminate the need for a driver disk at boot time as we
run XCat and routinely have users reboot to upgrade their workstations.

Thanks,

Keith, are you seeing any error messages in any of the console screens
you could share with us?
