Hopefully someone here can either help or point me in the right direction. I've gotten an IA64 system (hp rx2600) to boot via PXE(elilo) and install RedHat v5.3, but I've run into a few issues: 1. When i try to use a kickstart line with an ampersand in it, for some reason the ampersand's don't seem to make it through to the HTTP server, for example ks=http://server/ks/ks.cgi?hostname=aaa&option1=bbb is what i set, but if i look at the URI_QUERY_STRING on the webserver i get '?hostname=aaaoption1=bbb' If i take out the ampersand and just use ks=http://server/ks/aaa.ks it seems to work fine 2. I'd like to setup the machines to boot from network everytime, via DHCP 2a. first issue, after i do a kickstart install it resets the systems EFI firmware to boot from the hard disk by default rather then the network card, is there a way to force it to always boot from the nic first regardless or prevent something from changing the settings 2b. i can't seem to get the system to boot off the HDD after booting from the network. i want the system to boot off the network first and then if no commands are entered, i want it to boot from the hard drive. with PXE, it has a 'localboot' option which falls through if no input is entered Thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
