Hi,
I'm running into some trouble installing Fedora 7 using pxeboot.
I've searched the forum/mailinglist but did not find a complete answer,
that's why i'm posting my question.
My server has two e1000 compatible NICs.
I've found some forum posts that explain e1000 issues with Fedora 7 but
i could not verify that i'm having the same problem.
I'm seeing the following:
After anaconda starts it will request a IP using dhcp.
On the dhcp-server i see incoming requests and outgoing acks.
For some reason anaconda can't access the network after the dhcp request.
This will result in anaconda giving me an error saying that it can't
access the installation tree.
It looks like anaconda/dhclient doesn't pick up the ACK, or something's
preventing network access.
Unfortunately it's too early in the bootstage for me to check. (ALT-F2
doesn't have a shell yet)
A ping from the dhcp-server to the acked IP address results in 100%
packetloss.
When i use the same parameters in FC6 everything works smoothly.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Best regards,
Peter
