Error downloading kickstart file

[Renil Thomas]

Hi,

During kickstart installation of a sun x4270 machines using dhcp/pxe the
below error is obtained while the nfs file download. There are already some
relevant bugs but I would like to how we can debug at this stage, i.e., what
are the possible debugs?

->      |

The configurations seems to be fine, as the same is working on other set of
machines. For instance, the pxelinux.cfg/"Hex" file consists:

default linux

label linux
        kernel red_hat/vmlinuz
        append initrd=red_hat/initrd.img ramdisk_size=65536 vga=no
ip=130.130.21.121 netmask=255.255.255.0 ksdevice=eth2
ks=nfs:130.130.21.120:/myshare/ks.cfg
acpi=off console=ttyS0,19200

in /etc/exports the directory is exported:

/myshare *(rw,sync)


nfs services are fine and the exported directories can be mounted on from
other machines in the network:
