Sounds right to me re: 8.0 behavior. I have an existing pxelinux kickstart to install 7.2, and when the tftp/bootp/pxelinux system was upgraded to 8.0, I needed to make sure that the dhcp address the client system kickstarted up onto needed an entry in /etc/hosts. Don't know if there's an option to override that behavior or not. I also needed to change my dhcpd.conf file on the 8.0 boot host related to dynamic dns, don't recall the exact message, but when I started up dhcpd there was a pretty clear error entry put in /var/log/messages. About 30 seconds with the man page is all it took to get around that one. -- ---------- Vince.Skahan@xxxxxxxxxx --------- Connexion by Boeing - Cabin Network -----Original Message----- From: John [mailto:red@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 5:19 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Reverse DNS, RH8.0 On 3 Feb 2003, Igor Loncarevic wrote: > Hi, > > Is it only me or Kickstart installation needs to have reverse IP setup? I think I saw tftpd complaining about that the other day, so if that's involved, I think "yes." I can't think that anything else matters. > > Check my ks.cfg (relevant parts): > > [...] > url --url ftp://192.168.0.15/RedHat-8.0 > [..] > network --bootproto static --ip 192.168.0.90 --netmask 255.255.255.0 > --gateway 192.168.0.1 --nameserver 192.168.0.1 > [..] > > > With this config and floppy instalation, linux ks without reverse dns > for 192.168.0.90 will fail, but when I set RDNS for 192.168.0.90 it > passes smoothly. > > Any comments? > > Regards, > Igor > > -- Please, reply only to the list. _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
