RE: [opensuse-autoinstall] Installation Problems with pxeboot and dhcpcd

Basic info

Which Suse Version ?
Which hardware is used ?

> even dhcpcd nor manual IP setting works
Basic troubleshooting
 - Do you have more then one network in your server ?
 - Is the correct network driver loaded ? And is the correct card used ?
 - Are you able to do a manual installation meaning configuring the network by hand ( Select driver , set IP a.s.o )

After this is sorted out and you can set an IP but the automatic installation still fails:
 - Do you use a info file ? Thus you might should set something like "netwait: 5:" since some cards needs some time to be configured.

I was not able to install a Suse 10.3 on a new DELL machine because the Broadcom Card was named a litte bit different.

happy weekend
