All - I just yesterday upgraded my laptop installation to 8.2 from the DVD, all seems to have worked, but the NFS server behavior and dhcp server behavior have changed. Under 8.1/kernel 2.4.19 I was able to Jumpstart Solaris clients from the laptop, using either bootp or dhcp. Now, I can't even "net boot" a Solaris client, and NFS seems to be at the heart of it. Under 8.1, I could check the RPC info and see that NFS was being served both udp and tcp, and both version 2 and 3, e.g. hogwarts:/home/markea 1> rpcinfo -p localhost program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 32768 status 100024 1 tcp 32768 status 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs <---------- Vers 2/udp 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs <---------- Vers 3/udp 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs <---------- Vers 2/tcp 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs <---------- Vers 3/tcp 100021 1 udp 32771 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32771 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32771 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 32769 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 32769 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 32769 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 32772 mountd 100005 1 tcp 32770 mountd 100005 2 udp 32772 mountd 100005 2 tcp 32770 mountd 100005 3 udp 32772 mountd 100005 3 tcp 32770 mountd hogwarts:/home/markea 2> uname -a Linux hogwarts 2.4.19-4GB #1 Wed Nov 27 00:56:53 UTC 2002 i686 unknown hogwarts:/home/markea 3> rpm -qa | grep ^k_ k_deflt-2.4.19-274 Now on the 8.2 system/kernel 2.4.20, the behavior seems to be that only udp NFS is served by default hogwarts:/home/markea 1> rpcinfo -p localhost program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 32768 status 100024 1 tcp 32768 status 100005 1 udp 32771 mountd 100005 1 tcp 32769 mountd 100005 2 udp 32771 mountd 100005 2 tcp 32769 mountd 100005 3 udp 32771 mountd 100005 3 tcp 32769 mountd 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs <--------------- Vers 2/udp 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs <--------------- Vers 3/udp 100021 1 udp 32772 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32772 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32772 nlockmgr hogwarts:/home/markea 2> uname -a Linux hogwarts 2.4.20-4GB #1 Mon Mar 17 17:54:44 UTC 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux hogwarts:/home/markea 3> rpm -qa | grep ^k_ k_deflt-2.4.20-39 So, it appears that the loss of the Version 3/tcp protocols has broken Jumpstart, and I can't find how to bring it back. Also, the earlier version of dhcpd seemed to work just fine with a setup I put together based on some samples I found on the 'net, but the new version gets errors at startup on the same file: Setup that worked: hogwarts:/home/markea 5> rpm -qa | grep dhcp dhcpcd-1.3.22pl1-128 dhcp-tools-1.2-212 dhcp-base-3.0.1rc9-59 dhcp-server-3.0.1rc9-59 New setup that fails: hogwarts:/home/markea 5> rpm -qa | grep dhcp dhcp-tools-1.2-274 dhcp-client-3.0.1rc10-32 dhcpcd-1.3.22pl4-27 dhcp-base-3.0.1rc10-32 dhcp-server-3.0.1rc10-32 Here is the config entries which cause the error: option space SUNW; # option SUNW.root-mount-options code 1 = text; option SUNW.rootopt code 1 = text; option SUNW.root-server-ip-address code 2 = ip-address; option SUNW.root-server-hostname code 3 = text; option SUNW.root-path-name code 4 = text; option SUNW.swap-server-ip-address code 5 = ip-address; option SUNW.swap-file-path code 6 = text; option SUNW.boot-file-path code 7 = text; option SUNW.posix-timezone-string code 8 = text; option SUNW.boot-read-size code 9 = unsigned integer 16; option SUNW.install-server-ip-address code 10 = ip-address; option SUNW.install-server-hostname code 11 = text; option SUNW.install-path code 12 = text; option SUNW.sysid-config-file-server code 13 = text; option SUNW.JumpStart-server code 14 = text; option SUNW.terminal-name code 15 = text; # # Sample setup to Jumpstart SPARCstation5 - Solaris 8 02/02 # class "SUNW.SPARCstation-5" { match if option vendor-class-identifier = "SUNW.SPARCstation-5"; option vendor-class-identifier = "SUNW.SPARCstation-5"; vendor-option-space; option SUNW.rootopt "vers=2"; option SUNW.root-server-hostname "gryffindor"; option SUNW.root-server-ip-address 192.168.1.21; option SUNW.root-path-name \ "/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-02/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot"; option SUNW.install-server-hostname "gryffindor"; option SUNW.install-server-ip-address 192.168.1.21; option SUNW.install-path "/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-02"; option SUNW.JumpStart-server "gryffindor:/jumpstart"; option SUNW.sysid-config-file-server \ "gryffindor:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8"; option SUNW.terminal-name "vt100"; } Any ideas?
