Seph, Do the precisions have multiple NICs? I have repeatedly had problems with booting off one NIC and Linux defines the other as eth0, tries to get the config file (in my case with NFS) and fails since only the other NIC was connected. In which case, try booting off the other NIC. Also, I think there is a kernel parameter in RH9 (and therefore may be in Fedora) where you can specify which NIC to use, such as 'ksdevice=link' to use the connected NIC or 'ksdevice=eth1' to force kickstart to use the secondary NIC. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of seph Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 01:58 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: dhcp okay, but no http > They boot, they get dhcp, but they always fail to get the config file. > If I run things through a hub, I see the dhcp traffic, but the machine > never even sends an http request. > > Playing around a bit more, I seem to only have trouble with the > precisions when plugged into netgear hubs or switches.

The precision machines, with their onboard NICs fail when talking to netgear equipment. However, the failure is not what I'd expect for network incompatability. They get dhcp, they ping. They claim http fails, but they send no packets, and drop into manual mode. From manual mode, http works fine. seph _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
