kickstart stuck after downloading kernel & ramdisk using PXE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to install RedHat 7.2 on a Dell 1500SC using PXE. DHCP/PXE/tftp
work ok until the client machine downloads the kernel (linux.1) & initrd
(linux.2).

The boot process:
 
 - The first boot device of my client is the network adapter (pxe client);
 - The client gets an IP address from DHCP server;
 - Press F8 to view menu.....  message is shown;
 - So, I select Remote Install Linux;
 - The sytem shows this two messages:
 
   Downloading Linux kernel image ........
   Downloading initrd image.....
 
At this point the startup process stops every time, and nothing
happens. The messages still on display forever !!!!

- I'm using pxe-0.1-20.src.rpm

- DELL 1500SC has 2 processors and 2GB of RAM.

- I'm using the pxe image boot files (linux.1 & linux.2) which come with
  the redhat 7.2 CD.

The same setup works with Dell PowerEdge 1400. Why doesn't it work for the
Dell 1500SC ? Is that because it has 2 processors ? It is weird that it
does not even say that it is uncompressing the linux kernel ?

Any help would be much apprreciated.

Thierry.
