Hello,
I am new to Cobbler in the sense that I've dabbled with it in the past
but have never really gotten it to work. I need help with a PXE booting
issue.
My goal: to be able to install Fedora 14 x86_64 on a desktop machine
with a new hard drive. I want to do this using cobbler with a kickstart
file that I have edited myself. Later, when I'm satisfied that the
Kickstart installation works, I want to replace the system with a new
motherboard and processor.
The cobbler server has been installed on a laptop. This is another
Fedora 14 x86_64 system. It was frustrating at first until I disabled
SELinux, which has been running in full enforcing mode. A DVD iso
containing the Fedora 14 distribution has been mounted to /mnt/dvd.
httpd is running and I set up symlinks in the web content area that
point to /mnt/dvd. I also did a 'cobbler import' on the DVD.
The cobbler server and the the system to which I want cobbler to install
Fedora 14 to are both connected to a Dell PowerConnect 2716 switch and
this in turn is connected to a Verizon router which provides internet
access and DHCP service. All the DHCP is done by the Verizon router.
I've never changed settings in the router.
My problem: when I turn on the machine that is to PXE boot, I get a
PXE-E53 error message: "No boot filename recieved".
How do I fix this in terms of a Verizon router/DHCP service so that the
machine I want to install Fedora to using Kickstart "sees" the Cobbler
server properly and works with it?
Thanks
Bob Cochran
