Hi Philip, The installation goes on to succeed so the NFS connection is made once I confirm the IP address and dir. It seems like some sort of bug. I see the following in the messages file: rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from castle:614 for /software/install_tree (/software/install_tree) The version I am running is WS 3.0. I will check the VCs. Many thanks, Liz. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Philip Rowlands Sent: 02 September 2004 22:31 To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: kickstart nfs query On Thu, 2 Sep 2004, Liz Beresford wrote: >I am having a problem using nfs and kickstart. >My ks.cfg file has the entry: >install nfs --server=192.170.45.2 --dir=/software/install_tree >However, at the start of the installation, it says that this directory >cannot be mounted.

What does syslog say on the NFS server? Does it even show an attempted connection? Anything informative on the other VCs (Alt+F2, Alt+F3 etc.)?
