Hi, I'm systematically hiting the message "no DNS servers, can't look up hostname" while trying to build a hostname based ks file VM install. The PXE server used is a Rhel 5.4 X86_64, the DHCP service is offered by dnsmasq. The client is a VM expected to be installed with RHEL 5.4. When logging dsmasq, I can see that the dns server option (6) is sent to the client as well as the hostname option (12). Below the dnsmasq log on the server Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: DHCP packet: transaction-id is 1664975136 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: Available DHCP range: 192.168.84.250 -- 192.168.84.251 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: Vendor class: anaconda Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.84.250 54:52:00:22:92:83 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.84.250 54:52:00:22:92:83 testVM Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: requested options: 1:netmask, 28:broadcast, 3:router, 15:domain-name, Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: requested options: 6:dns-server, 12:hostname, 33:static-route Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: next server: 192.168.84.254 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: bootfile name: pxelinux.0 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: tags: known Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 1 option: 53:message-type 05 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 54:server-identifier c0:a8:54:fe Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 51:lease-time 00:00:1c:20 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 58:T1 00:00:0e:10 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 59:T2 00:00:18:9c Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 1:netmask ff:ff:ff:00 Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 28:broadcast c0:a8:54:ff Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 4 option: 3:router c0:a8:54:fe Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 6 option: 12:hostname 74:65:73:74:56:4d Aug 12 13:24:16 cmxi1152 dnsmasq[11759]: sent size: 8 option: 6:dns-server 0a:92:00:0b:0a:92:24:0b On client side (console ALT-F3 log) 11:24:15 INFO : getting kickstart file 11:24:15 INFO : sending dhcp request through device eth0 11:24:15 INFO : requesting dhcp timeout 45 11:24:15 INFO : Listening on LPF/eth0/54:52:00:22:93:83 11:24:15 INFO : Sending on LPF/eth0/54:52:00:22:93:83 11:24:15 INFO : Sending on Socket/fallback 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPOFFER from 192.168.84.254 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPACK from 192.168.84.254 11:24:15 INFO : bound to 192.168.84.250 -- renewal in 3052 seconds. 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPv4 eth0 - obtained lease 192.168.84.250 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPv4 eth0 - option subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPv4 eth0 - option subnet-mask - prefix_len: 24 broadcast: 192.168.84.254 11:24:15 INFO : DHCPv4 eth0 - option routers: 11:24:15 ERROR : no DNS servers, can't look up hostname Thanks Brem _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
