RE: Unable to get any http requests: Unable to retreive netstg2.imgfile

Thanks Colin for the quick response

 

Yes.  It does have.  It’s a Dell PE2950.

 

I have already tried that option as well. 

I tried both ksdevice=eth0 and ksdevice=eth1 and they don’t work.

Does the machine you're on have multiple Ethernet interfaces?  If so, what you may find is adding 'ksdevice=link' will assist.

Subject: Unable to get any http requests: Unable to retreive netstg2.img file

Hi

I am sure there is some information regarding my request, but I am unable to find it, hence the post.

 

I configured my kickstart server using http.

I am able to pxeboot the client, but my client is not able to get the netstg2.img file from the server.

I am able to http into my netstg2.img directory from a web browser from another server in the same subnet successfully.

 

Also I tried to put in a boot cdrom and run the following:

Linux ks=http://<ServerIP>/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg ip=<ClientIP> netmask=255.255.255.224 gateway=<GatewayIP>

 

Still no luck. It goes straight to the cd installer.

 

I tried to tcpdump the traffic on the MAC address of the client, it outputs the tftp information and after that it stops.

I don’t see any http traffic coming from the client.

 

I’d appreciate some help in this regard. 

I’ve spent all day trying to troubleshoot this but no luck.

 

Thanks Much
