on a secondary note (and btw, thanks Scott), does anyone know if there is anything different about the way the Poweredge 1650 or the Intel Pro 1000 broadcasts for dhcp? A dhcp broadcast is a dhcp broadcast right? The issue is that I am doing kickstarting in a network with multiple vlans; routing is handled on an internal router. ip helper and ip directed-broadcast have been enabled. When I start a 1650 with the kickstart disk, it starts looking for dynamic ip, but never gets one. When I run tcpdump on the dhcp server, I never see the broadcasts from the 1650. So, network problem right? So I thought, but then I decided to take a PowerEdge 2550 (with Intel 10/100 onboard for eth0), and plug the 1650's network link into this box, just to see... and it worked perfectly! The 2550 broadcasted for an IP, showed up on the dhcp server, and got an ip... So, maybe the interface on the 1650 was not being configured by the kickstart disk right? Wrong! I ran a crossover cable from the 1650 to the dhcp server and it was able to successfully get an ip address... So, the only thing I can think of is that there is something different about the way the Pro 1000 card is broadcasting such that the broadcasts are not being propogated through the switch or the router because they are different in nature that the broadcast from a standard 10/100 interface... but that really doesn't make much sense to me... anyone see any similar problems? - Jay -----Original Message----- From: Scott Croft [mailto:secroft@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 7:14 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Intel Pro 1000 woes I provided Jay with the custom image I built and used for a couple of systems and you can also download and use the Compaq custom image for RH 7.2. One of the main issues with the custom image is re-compression after changes are made and I ran into a space issue with the disk. I then switched to the nfs ks.cfg and now have moved on to testing the utilization of the iLO port on the compaq system. The problem with that is the web server they hard code onto the iLO chip is IE specific and I'm running a Linux desktop, so accessing the port is a pain.
