I have a working Cobbler server, using it to load units with CentOS 5.7. It works fine with a simple Dell 2716 switch connecting the server and targets. Also with a LinkSys RV016. Substituting a Cisco 2960 switch, it fails. It network boots, shows the PXE menu, I choose an entry, it gets a DHCP address on its eth0, and starts loading including getting its kickstart via HTTP. But when it goes to load the driver disk image via NFS, it hangs. The Anaconda Alt-F4 screen shows it not seeing the NFS server; after 2 minutes of trying, it times out and the Alt-F4 screen shows an error dump. Tried the switch with and without RST (rapid spanning tree) active, no difference. The switch seems to work OK for normal network operations outside the kickstart environment, for what we use. Any idea what it might be that could be interfering with the NFS disk driver loading step? _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
