...and just in case, if you're using a kickstart file with something like this: network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp Be sure you change that device eth0 to eth1 as well. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ciordia [mailto:andy.ciordia@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 1:12 PM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: Issue with Aquiring DHCP Since you mentioned this adding weight I went and adjusted my ksdevice from eth0 to eth1 and PXE still loads the kernel right but then I can't get passed the dhcp allocation screen. Its waiting for a link which is not hot. So I think the kernel and pxe understand that eth0 is eth0 it just for some reason fires off too early, or needs to understand failure/latency and retry some set number of times or have fallback mechanism. It needs to get a bit smarter, one point of failure cannot be an acceptable option. -a Lambert, Eric wrote: > I've had this same problem for this reason. i.e. PXE booting a dell > 1750 over the on-board gig-1 (chosing between gig-1 and gig-2) with an > additional e1000 card in the box will boot PXE over the gig-1 then > fail on the anaconda DHCP with this error.
