Unable to get any http requests: Unable toretreivenetstg2.imgfile

[Mukarram Syed]

Excellent question.

Oracle Enterprise Linux.

But it's pretty much RedHat4.  Just that it has Enterprise written all over
it and the kernel has a bunch of 0.0.1 prefixed to it.

What distro are you trying to install (RHEL3,RHEL4,FC6, etc)?

Thanks Colin for the quick response 

 

Yes.  It does have.  It's a Dell PE2950.

 

I have already tried that option as well.  

I tried both ksdevice=eth0 and ksdevice=eth1 and they don't work.

Does the machine you're on have multiple Ethernet interfaces?  If so, what
you may find is adding 'ksdevice=link' will assist.

file

Hi 

I am sure there is some information regarding my request, but I am unable to
find it, hence the post.

 

I configured my kickstart server using http.

I am able to pxeboot the client, but my client is not able to get the
netstg2.img file from the server.

I am able to http into my netstg2.img directory from a web browser from
another server in the same subnet successfully.

 

Also I tried to put in a boot cdrom and run the following:

Linux ks=http://<ServerIP>/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg ip=<ClientIP>
netmask=255.255.255.224 gateway=<GatewayIP>

 

Still no luck. It goes straight to the cd installer.

 

I tried to tcpdump the traffic on the MAC address of the client, it outputs
the tftp information and after that it stops.

I don't see any http traffic coming from the client.

 

I'd appreciate some help in this regard.  

I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot this but no luck.

 

Thanks Much
