Hi,
I built a server using the network installation method via eth1.
I did this from home, connected to the company vpn.
During the installation process, I logged in via the iLO, and then booted the installer image.
The problem was when I reached the boot prompt, and entered eth1, it was stuck in the two lines below for about 15 minutes before proceeding with the installation process.
This is the boot prompt :
Code:
boot : eth1
Loading vmlinuz...
Loading initrd.img...
Normally after I type eth1 and then press enter, it would only be a matter of seconds before the lines below the boot prompt complete.
However, now it was slow. It was stuck in the two lines below the boot prompt for about 15 minutes before proceeding with the installation process.
I do not understand why this should happen?
