Hi All,
I am having some issue with my cobbler system. Basically, for unknown reasons, I can't seem to get past the transferring stage2.img portion of the pxe boot. I have no issues getting the DHCP address, the pxe menu, getting the installer to
start
but when it tries to load the stage2.img and or minstg2.img it says
it
is 'unable to retrieve' the image. However, I can get to those files from the cobbler box using the 192.168.x.x ip from the browser and
the
file permissions seems to be correct.
I didn't really update this laptop much before coming down so the issue may be from my update to the 1.2.x codebase. My version before was still using the /var/lib/cobbler/setting era code. Not really sure. But I'd love to know if anyone has ran into this before. Some folks on IRC were seeming to have similar problems. If I can't get this worked out the trip will be a bit of a waste so I hope someone has a quick answer.
Sorry I can't give more details but /var/log/httpd/access and error aren't giving me much.
Thanks,
Aaron
I've had this problem when I had a multiple NIC machine and the PXE boot device was not eth0 one the PXE loaded the kernel and intird. There is a change in the 1.3 codeline that uses the PXE device as default.
I fixed it on the V20Z by setting ksdevice=eth5 as kernel option.
