hi all, i'm not sure whether i should post this on devel list, but this is the only place i found. please guide me if there is a more proper place i can find answer. ok, here is the problem i met. i have one RHEL6.1 x86_64 server which severs as PXE server. and i want to provision another RHEL6.1 compute host. after the compute host power on, it can successfully get the IP address from DHCP server and kerner, initrd from tftp server. but when anaconda try to download the updates.img file, it took too much time (more than 20 minutes). i have tried to download the updates.img directly using wget command, it's OK. the files can be downloaded in seconds. so i think the http works well. and the wired thing is this doesn't happen always. sometimes, the anaconda can download very quickly. following are some logs i pick up from tty (Alt + F3) 09:45:29,765 INFO : doing kickstart... setting it up 09:45:34,775 INFO : wait_for_iface_activation (2274): device eth0 activated 09:45:34,781 INFO : trying to mount CD device /dev/sr0 on /mnt/stage2 09:45:34,783 INFO : drive status is CDS_TRAY_OPEN 09:45:34,784 INFO : Drive tray reports open when it should be closed 09:45:49,799 INFO : no stage2= given, assuming http://192.168.10.20/repos/1000/images/install.img 09:45:49,799 INFO : setting language to en_US.UTF-8 09:45:49,813 INFO : starting STEP_METHOD 09:45:49,818 INFO : starting STEP_STAGE2 09:45:49,818 INFO : URL_STAGE_MAIN: url is http://192.168.10.20/repos/1000/images/install.img 09:45:49,818 INFO : transferring http://192.168.10.20/repos/1000/images/updates.img ...
