To reply to myself, the problem seems to be a delay (possibly due to a bug?) whereby it times out. I cannot see any DHCP requests leaving the br0 device. However, when I use 'crtl+b' to get into the gPXE prompt, and run 'dhcp net0' some DHCP packets are sent and get a reply, and the interface gets an IP address.
Not sure what is going on here! -Cam - KVM host has been set up with bridged networking, and I can successfully kickstart a host using the command line virt-install --name=vtest --ram 512 -f /dev/vg00/vtest --vcpus=2 --network bridge=br0 -l http://10.62.128.11/mirrors/scientific/6.1/x86_64/os -x "ks=http://10.62.128.11/kickstart/vm-test.cfg console=ttyS0" However, I cannot get it to work when using virt-manager GUI I select 'Network Boot' (PXE), under 'Advanced Options', I select 'Host device em1 (Bridge 'br0'), leaving the default Mac address options, however, it fails to get a DHCP address, giving the following error in the console: ---------------------------8<------------------------ Waiting for link up on net0....ok DHCP (net052:54:00:35:8c:c2 )......................connection timed out (0x4c106035) No more network devices ---------------------------8<------------------------ It generates the following network config in the xml: ----------------8<---------------- <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='br0'/> <mac address='52:54:00:35:8c:c2'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> ----------------8<---------------- >From KVM guests I have kickstarted via the command line method, I can get >DHCP addresses. I cannot even see any DHCP requests on br0 on the KVM when it is attempting to get an address via GUI method Any ideas why the virt-manager method does not work? Cheers for any help, Cam
