Looks similar to my dhcpd.conf (apart that I just have "pxelinux.0", so without the path). But since it found the boot kernel that seems to be ok.
I see that when I try the manual install offered after the auto one fails, I can select DHCP. If I do, that fails. I see no reason why as DHCP is working for this client. Should there be something special in the dhcp config file? I thought next-server was about it.
In my tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default:
default linux64AUTO # install label linux64AUTO kernel linux64 append initrd=initrd64 ramdisk_size=65536 install=nfs://10.0.0.200/usr/SuSE10DVD/SuSE autoyast=nfs://10.0.0.200/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/borgClientsInstall.xml vnc=1 vncpassword=XXX splash=silent showopts
My current entry is: label linux kernel linux append initrd=initrd insmod=e1000 hostip=192.30.105.204 \ install=nfs://192.30.105.201/vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0/suse10.0 Another question: If I use YAST to set up the NFS install server, it asks me for a directory and a name for the install. The files from the CD are put in a sub-directory of the one I specified, called whatever name I gave for the install. In my example, I specified /vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0 as the directory, and suse10.0 as the name of the install. All the CD files were cop However, when it sets up the NFS export, it does not include the install name (i.e., the subdir with the actual SUSE source). I do not think this is a problem. But Yast's intentions are unclear. I have been trying both version in the append command (/vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0/suse10.0 and /vol1/distro/OpenSUSE10.0). Neither work. If I look at the on-line docs on setting this up by hand, the procedure is different. For example, the by-hand docs say to put the files in a directory called 'CD1'. Yast does not do this.
I remember I had protection issues on the install source. I put it under the root's home directory but since I have root_squash it could not be loaded. I had to open that directory so others could read it.
I had YasT set up the install source. I see that it exported the directory with: *(ro,root_squash,sync) I also tried: *(rw,sync) with no change. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
