What i have is about 400 servers that are in need of being kickstarted from RH73 to FC2. The network infrastructure is such that these 400 servers are spread over multiple vlans in order to spread the servers over multiple routers, etc. Normally i would be able to have dhcp forwarding enabled, which MIGHT have solved my problem, but in our environment this would be a huge no-no. So, in an effort to get around that problem, i have a few dhcp-relay servers running, one on each of the subnets (vlans) in this environment So, when kickstarting a box that sits natively on the same subnet as the yum/ks server - this works, nfs is found, mounted, and the kickstart works. Now, for ANY other box, not sitting on the same subnet, this fails, even though i can see the dhcp requests getting there from the relay servers, the nfs mount is not able to be found, nor mounted, so the kickstart fails. By the wway, I have exported the 'repo' I am using for these kickstart installs as follows: Sorry got cut off, here is my exports: /repo *(ro) /tftpboot *(ro) I desperately need to get this to work - however, i am limited in what i can 'open' within this infrastructure. Does anyone have any pointers, ideas, places for me to look to try to help debug and figure out JUST WHAT THE HECK is going on here.
