Hi, I'm trying to boot some bare metal over the network. I followed all the steps in the tutorial: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/HowToCobblerServer When I run cobbler check it just tells me this: [root@localhost cobbler]# cobbler check The following potential problems were detected: #0: since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, 25150, and 25151 are unblocked And I did make sure that these ports are open. I then set the bare metal bios to boot from the LAN first, but I still get a "NO BOOT DISK FOUND ERROR...or something like that". Is there a way to simulate the request that boot client should be sending to cobbler?
There are a couple things you can check - during your pxeboot phase do you see a timeout or anything like that? I find it helpful to do a tcpdump on the cobbler box to see if infact the pxe and dhcp packets are making it from the host to the server.
You can also tail /var/log/messages (by default) or /var/log/dhcpd (if you setup a syslogd rule for dhcpd) to see if there are requests getting through to the server. One common mistake I make is that I forget to add a subnet in my dhcp.template, and because of this my pxe requests will fail (as dhcpd won't be configured to offer leases on that subnet). This will usually show up in your log file.
