I have been using kickstart to setup our computer labs for the last
several releases of Fedora. I thought while I had some time, that I would
implement a cobbler setup and roll out Fedora 7.
I am running into an issue with kickstarting Fedora 7.
I use the boot.iso to create a bootable CD which from the command line
type in my kickstart command: ks=http://<pathtoks.cfg>
Anaconda starts up, grabs an IP address, grabs the kickstart file and at
this point attempts to re-initialize the interface using DHCP. The system
queries via DHCP several times before it gives up and attempts to retrieve
stage2 which fails ...
I am at a loss because I watch the DHCP server logs and it sees all the
queries and responds to each one. It is like anaconda is ignoring the
responses.
I have looked at the mailing list for previous problems and solutions and
have even set portfast on the port in question, but it failed to help me.
I have also set various other options such as noipv6 ksdevice=link
loglevel=debug without any success.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
