tftp
I am using VM Workstation on a Window 8 laptop. I am trying to build a Rocks cluster. The head node is up and sees the outside world, I can get to Yahoo from it. I am now trying to install my first compute node. I created an 'empty' Linux machine and then I PXE boot it. On the host I can see the DHCP request. Next comes the tftp boot, but my compute node client gets a tftp timeout. I have checked the xinted.conf. chkconfig says tftp is on. Not sure where to begin with this.

Are you setting the TFTP options in the DHCP scope that identify where the TFTP server is located and what the name of the boot file is supposed to be?

I have The Rocks head node already set up. I've done this before with physical hardware and the compute nodes had no trouble booting off the head node. I just installed the:

software and didn't have to touch dhcp. I and not near the system now. I will check tomorrow.

It is working now.
I came in this morning, added the verbose flag to tftpd and restarted xinetd and things worked. Beyond me.
The client tftp boot off the head node and installed the OS.
