Hello, I keep getting "portmap: server localhost not responding timed out." and "lockd_up: makesock failed, error -5" errors when ever I try to mount something in the "%post" section in a kickstart config script. The mount works and the command is issued, but it takes forever for the timeout period. RH 7.1 and roswell (both betas). Here is the command: mkdir -p /mnt/config mount XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/export/kickstart/config /mnt/config tar xf /mnt/config/standard72.tar -C / umount /mnt/config Anyone seen this error before? It seems like something is trying to access portmapper (rpcbind) on the kickstart client. Eric B. P.S. Has anyone sucessfully made a kickstart server out of a Solaris 7 box?
