Sorry to bother everyone. I'm trying to install r5.3 via the proliant ILO. I'm using the below commands:

linux ks=nfs:IP_ADDR_NFS_SVR:/location/of/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 IP:IP_ADDR_CLIENT netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=IP_ADDR_gateway

When the installation starts, it fails with

"Unable to download the kick start file. Please modify the kickstart paramater below or press cancel to proceed as an interactive installation"
The parameters that it is refering to are:

nfs:linux ks=nfs:IP_ADDR_NFS_SVR:/location/of/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 IP:IP_ADDR_CLIENT netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=IP_ADDR_gateway

I tried changing the fields but nothing works. On the server side, I exported the directory where the iso is. nothting. I'm losted

On the server, the iso is mounted to /mnt/iso. I added "/mnt/iso" to the "/etc/exports" file and exported.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

- Ensure eth0 is patched/on the correct vlan
- try booting on a live cd, configure network accordingly and run: showmount -e your_nfs_server_ip

cheers
