Trouble with PXE Boot Install
I am trying to set up a PXE Boot server for some machines on a private network and I am running into a problem. For some reason the installs are failing and I am seeing the message below but I do not know what it is trying to tell me, can anyone help out please? Thanks.
Looking for a network server... Ok, that didn't work; see if we can activate another network device... insmod /modules/bnx2.ko Ok, that seems to have worked. :-) Looking for another network device again... Trying to activate eth0 Setting up localhost...done Sending DHCP request to eth0... no/Incomplete answer. Trying to activate eth1 Setting up localhost...done Sending DHCP request to eth1... no/Incomplete answer. Ok, that didn't work; see if we can activate another network device... No further network cards found; giving up. Automatic setup not possible. |
I suggest you have a look of K12LTSP, which is based on Centos5.
install and work. somehow, maybe, the network card from your client computer is not supported by the server. |
Looks to me like a DHCP problem - do you have a firewall issue perhaps (can you test without firewalls)? Do you have a DHCP server running at all?
