Folks,
I am trying to install Redhat Es 3.0 using a PXE server.I have
configured the PXE server as recommended.
When I try to bootup my client,the kernel gets loaded and the
installation stops at "Sending request for Ip information for eth0...".
I have put my ks.cfg and dhcpd.conf file details below
Dhcpd.conf
server-identifier 192.168.11.200;
# option definitions common to all supported networks:
default-lease-time 21600;
dynamic-bootp-lease-length 1200;
use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style none;
option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-tmout code 4 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.mtftp-delay code 5 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.discovery-control code 6 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.discovery-mcast-addr code 7 = ip-address;
option PXE.boot-menu code 9 = string;
option PXE.menu-prompt code 10 = { unsigned integer 8, text };
class "PXE" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9)
= "PXEClient";
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
vendor-option-space PXE;
}
subnet 192.168.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.11.10 192.168.11.20;
option routers 192.168.11.254;
option broadcast-address 192.168.11.255;
}
