Tom, Please provide the following info: * What does /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/xxxxxxx look like (where xxxxxxxx corresponds to your system)? o Is xinetd (or standalone tftpd) running? * What does the host entry (corresponding to your system) in /etc/dhcpd.conf look like? o Is dhcpd running? * Are you 100% positive that there is an ethernet link on eth0 and not on some other NIC? (you may want to try setting ksdevice=link in your tftp boot file)? * Do you observe dhcp-related noise on the cobbler server (tcpdump, etc.) indicating that the provisioned system is communicating properly? Are there any f/w's, vlan issues (you may need a dhcp helper address if your system is on a separate vlan than the cobbler server), etc. that might interfere with the boot process? * Can you provide a more detailed list of what shows up on the console during the boot process?
thanks but i am NOT using DHCP - this is rebuilding a current OS. As the install should happen over http is TFTP required? I imagine not
