I'm having an issue with two new machines we just installed.
The machines are Sun Blade x6250 modules with Intel e1000 NICs. When trying to
kickstart them using PXE, RHEL3-U8 and RHEL4-U4 both come back with the
following error while trying to grab the kickstart file: 'pump told us: No DHCP reply received' I've done some searching and come up with a few options to
try. The network folks were kind enough to enable 'spanning-tree portfast' on
the ports the servers are on, which did speed up the time in which the ports
were enabled. I've also tried setting ksdevice as the MAC of the NIC I need to
boot from as well as used the nicdelay/linksleep options to workaround whatever
timeout is happening. Just for kicks, I decided to try installing RHEL5, which much
to my chagrin, worked perfectly. Michael DeHaan helped me out a bit in the #kickstart channel
on freenode, but suggested I post to the list for a wider audience. Any help on
this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Darrick |
