RE: [Oscar-users] DHCP Client failures after PXE Boot

[Bernard Li]

Hey Chad:   Oh okay I didn't realize that you actually got it to pxe-boot.   So your node pxe-boot, loaded the images and it just bombed out with the message?  I don't understand why it would try to get an ip address again when it has already gotten one...   Did you set your client nodes to reboot after it finishes imaging?  And do you have 'network' as the first boot order now?   Cheers,   Bernard From: Chad Dupuis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 15:11 To: Bernard Li Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] DHCP Client failures after PXE Boot Yes, it's all setup up and running ok.  If I watch /var/log/messages I see that when the machines boots off the network it is given its appropriate address 192.168.0.2 (the server is .1) and then the tftp messages show up and the client starts loading the image - then later (the messages I sent before) it is asking for another address but I don't see anything in /var/log/messages after that?

The PXE boot fine and start downloading the image and then I get this: start_network IP Address not set by local.cfg. I will use DHCP. sleep 0: This is to give your switch (if you're using one) time to recognize..... dhcpclient ..... eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negoitated partner ability 0000. Listening on LPF/eth0/00:40..... Sending on LPF/eth0/00:40...... Listing on LPF/lo/<null> Sending on LPF/lo/<null> Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 ..., etc. Then, No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. I couldn't configure the network interface using DHCP.... Any ideas on why it cannot get an address here? -- Cheers, -Chad MIT Academic Computing ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
