Re: How to install over eth2?

I still can't figure this one out. The machine boots fine and executes my script when I break vmlinuz and initrd.img out of the 2880K file and dump them in /tftpboot. But when I put the thing back together, it just hangs after displaying
"Loading boot sector... booting..."

Is this correct for /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg:

default diskimage-2880
prompt 1
timeout 40
label localboot
       localboot 0
label diskimage-1440
       kernel memdisk
       append initrd=images/boot1440.img
label diskimage-2880
       kernel memdisk
       append initrd=images/boot2880.img
label rh9-install
       kernel rh9-vmlinuz
append ks=nfs:129.46.64.174:/vol/vol0/redhat/PowerQuest/ks.cfg initrd=rh9-initrd.img network profile=spec20

There is a syslinux.cfg file in /tftpboot. Does this file get read when doing a memdisk disk image type install? I had it in there for the label (above) rh9-install which reads the file directly from the /tftpboot directory and needs to know where to find the ks.cfg file.

There is only one NIC in the client, eth0.

This is most frustrating!

Could it have something to do with the multiple "device eth" lines? Have you tried only having a single "device eth" line and have the ksdevice=eth2 in syslinux.cfg?

Hi folks,

My kickstart install does not seem to recognize the ks.cfg static ip info for eth0 and eth2 and immediately sets eth0 to DHCP. The following is an excerpt of my ks.cfg:

lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US en_US
keyboard us
mouse none
skipx
device eth e100 --opts "e100_speed_duplex=4"
device eth e100 --opts "e100_speed_duplex=4"
device eth e100 --opts "e100_speed_duplex=4" <--- works fine till this line network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --netmask 255.255.255.240 <--- does not work as expected from here on network --device eth2 --bootproto static --ip www.xxx.yyy.zzz --netmask 255.255.255.192 --gateway www.xxx.yyy.1
