Isn't there a timeout value that you can also set in the kernel boot params to give it more time to establish a connection and DHCP address? I remember needing it a while back, but unfortunately it eludes me. Does anyone happen to know what that is? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Shabazian, Chip Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 1:22 PM To: kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: RE: TFTP Open Timeout We have seen this issue on some switches due to the time it takes for the NIC to negotiate. What version are you using, and is portfast turned on at the switch? You can force the speed and duplex by appending the following to the kernel boot parameters: ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=off speed=100 duplex=full" Adjust as appropriate. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Landreth Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 9:10 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: TFTP Open Timeout TFTP uses UDP, so my first assumption would be a firewall, due to the timeout error. However, I just noticed when you do a getent services tftp it reports 69/tcp, which is wrong, its 69/udp - Kevin L. Elizabeth.Brosch@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > I am having problems with TFTP.
