I am not getting any problems from my logs at all,
The strange thing here is that if I run "service named stop" then nfs works.
I manufacture PCs and you will be happy to know that I have already built approx 4000 systems loaded with FC1 / 2 Linux this year. To speed up the installations via the network I setup a dns server and a dhcp to assign IPs and host names to the computers. The problem I am faced with is possibly a config problem in my dhcp file. The server is not assigning the host names, I also can't use mac address statements because the PCs are always new. In other words I want the dhcp to assign an IP on a random basis, if for example the IP is 192.168.2.1 then make that PCs hostname station1.domainname. If a PC is unplugged from the network then it must make that IP immediatley available again.
Here is my dhcpd.conf file could someone please give me a hint:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ddns-update-style ad-hoc; default-lease-time 30; # 30 seconds max-lease-time 7200; # 2 hours
option domain-name "teq.pinteq"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.2.255; option routers 192.168.2.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.50; } +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
------------------------------------------------------- This is ridiculous; OK so I decided to setup http based installations out of desperation, I copied the install dir fc1 to my http folder . I forgot to edit the ks.cfg (kickstart file) which is set to nfs, the line is: nfs --server=192.168.2.1 --dir=/fc1
Booting from cdrom I use the option: linux ks=http://192.168.2.1/fc1/ks.cfg and then it mounts my nfs share /fc1 and the install rocks on. So I figured that nfs has mysteriously decided to work so I try linux ks=nfs:192.168.2.1:/fc1/ks.cfg and it fails to mount the share. So I know it is a problem between named and dhcp but what is the problem. Please can someone give me a clue PS:clues do not include man pages or google I have read and can't see the light.
