Ok, you are getting your initial pxeboot IP, it
successfully sends the kernel and initrd via tftp. At this point, the NIC
recycles itself, and the negotiation between NIC and switch starts all
over. This looks so far like the exact problem we experience, with the
same HP DL servers.
What does your pxeboot config file contain?

On Behalf Of Shabazian,
Chip Do you get an address
when you boot from disk 1 or the boot.iso? From:
kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of
Elizabeth.Brosch@xxxxxxxxxxx Thanks for the reply
Chip but it didn’t work. I received the same
error. Liz From:
kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Shabazian,
Chip Will this server get a
dhcp address if you boot from the boot.iso (or disk 1 with askmethod) and select
http, ftp or nfs as your install path? If so, you are probably
running into a switch timing issue that I have to deal with every day. Try
adding an ethtool option to the end of your command
line: if 100MB Full
Duplex: ksdevice=eth0
eth0_ethtool="autoneg=off speed=100 duplex=full" If 1000MB
Full: ksdevice=eth0
eth0_ethtool="autoneg=on speed=1000 duplex=full" Chip From:
kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of
Elizabeth.Brosch@xxxxxxxxxxx I have been trying to get kickstart
working but have had no success. Here are the last few lines of the
kickstart process before it dies: *getting kickstart
file *sending dhcp request through device
eth0 *waiting for
link * 5
seconds * running dhcp for
eth0 * pump told us: No DHCP reply
received * eth0 isn’t a wireless
adaptor I have checked every possible
configuration with regards to dhcp, pxe, tftp, but cannot find anything
wrong. Has anyone else seen this type of
behavior? Thanks in
advance. Liz
