Was ready to give up and start looking at something called PowerCockpit but then solved the prob with caffeine, nocotine and what this man says: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6377241 followed by what this man says: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6356423
SystemImager ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: George Baben Sent: 13 May 2004 15:05 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Executing kernel uses wrong NIC (PCI) as eth0 instead of onboard? Using Dell PowerEdge 1750 with 2 onboard GB NIC's and one GB PCI NIC as a 'PXE boot server'. Using a duplicate model as a client. I have managed: - to set a server up as a boot-image server. - to pull the golden image from the client to the boot-image server. - PXE boot the client from the boot-image server (halfway before it fails). With regards to networking, the client setup is: - onboard NIC 1 as eth0 [connected to lan, boot-server, 192.168.1.*] - onboard NIC 2 as eth1 [connected to wan, routed, 172.*.*.*] - PCI NIC as eth2 [not connected] The process gets stuck halfway through the last step: - The client does dhcp, ftp, pxe and gets bootimage fine. - The client gets the kernel file from '/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/kernel' (on the server). - The client then executes the kernel. - The kernel grabs the PCI NIC (connect to WAN) as eth0 (which is the obvious problem). My bootserver is connected to the onboard NIC and not the PCI NIC that the kernel grabs as eth0. QUESTION: how do I make the kernel use the onboard NIC as eth0 and not the PCI NIC? Also, the kernel file transferred from the server to the client seems to be a generic kernel? I thought that it would grab a copy of the kernel made when I created the golden client image where the NIC's are configured as I need them? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any info.
