Autoinstall and Network Installation prompting for CD rom
Hi I am trying to build Beowulf Type of cluster using Suse 9.0 64 bit processor. I installed all the softwares and have done all the configuration on one node, from there I made the exact copy of that node using autoyast tool. As we want all the nodes of the same type and all the nodes have same hardware architecture. Copy the autoinst.xml file /tftpboot/suse9.0/autoinst.xml-nodename (sd* in our case). Copy the installation DVD into /tftpboot/suse9.0 directory. Which is also NFS partition. Copy pxelinx.0 (LATEST, I know there is problem with pxelinux.0 that came with suse 9.0) in /tftpboot/suse9.0 Copy Linux and initrd from /tftpboot/suse9.0/boot/loader to /tftpboot/suse9.0/ Create default file in /tftpboot/suse9.0/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8016C (For IP 192.168.1.108 and same for other nodes) Here is what the default file (C0A8016C) looks like default Linux label Linux kernel linux append init=/linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd root=/dev/ram insmod=bcm5700 netdevice=eth0 insmod=mptbase autoyast=nfs://192.168.1.1/autoinst.xml-sd6 install=nfs://192.168.1.1/ Now I boot the client machine using pxe boot and it boots, it gets the IP address reads the configuration file C0A8016C and says Missing Parameter in Config File.. Missing Parameter in config File.. and start the installation BUT this is what I get after loading modules.... ////////////////////////// Looking for Suse Linux CD.. Checking device /dev/hdc Ok, That didn't work See if we can activate another storage device Insmod mptbase Opps That didn't work, no further storage device found, giving up... Automatic Setup not possible ........///////////////// And it ask for the installation CD. Seems like the network card is not configure and it have problem with communication with NSF server, even though Network card got the fixed IP from DHCP server... Also from here If I go manually and try to load modules for network card which is bcm5700 it fails... Any idea what I might be doing wrong.... I have read so much on the mailing list archive but could not find any solution....
