Hello Broekman: I'm serving dhcp requests on eth1. The client host is getting its connection from eth0. I can see from tcpdump and syslog that the client is getting a ipaddress from dhcpd. I switched the cables from the client and the the client boots from harddrive. My nfs setup is as follows. */etc/exports* /opt/apps *(ro,async) *Output from showmount command* [etaylor@hellraiser ~]$ showmount -a All mount points on hellraiser: 192.168.0.130:/apps/install 192.168.0.130:/opt/apps/install On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 1:16 PM, Broekman, Maarten <Maarten.Broekman@xxxxxxx > wrote: > See below... > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ezra Taylor > > Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 1:10 PM > > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > > Subject: Re: Kickstart problem > > > > Hello all: > > I followed all of your suggestions and > > I'm still not able > > to download the kickstart file.
