i think i figured it out - in the
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/quser10 i changed ksdevice from eth0 to
bootif...when the node finished installing eth2 was configured with the
node ip address...
what i think happened is - since these nodes have daughter eth card, linux
saw the card that was plugged in as eth2 instead of eth0...telling pxe
configuration file not to use eth0 seemed to have worked. i just tested it
on another login node and it works.
thanks,
damir
