Not sure why you got put in my spam box, but you did :(... Anyway, the pxelinux.0 file
are the same across all of the cobbler servers per an md5sum check.

It sounds like the problem is with the pxelinux.0 bootfile - that's what makes the
TFTP requests. Is the file your DHCP server is giving out the same as one that works?
Thanks!

Subject: [cobbler] Problem with PXE when DHCP not running on cobbler server
I have a problem with pxe starting a server when cobbler is NOT the dhcp server. I am
unsure why this is but here is the problem.
When you create a new server it creates /tftproot/pxelinux.cfg/$MAC_ADDRESS which is fine
and works create on my other cobbler systems. But since this one server is not the dhcp
server I get a problem where when the kickstarted server requests its configuration it
looks for the hex version of the IP address and not the mac address like in the other
cobbler server setup. Or example.. from my log
Mar 7 13:32:13 servername in.tftpd[22679]: RRQ from 172.18.18.55 filename
pxelinux.cfg/AC1213C0
It does not look for the mac address ever.
Since cobbler does not make the hex version of the IP in this manner it kicks back an
error saying it cannot be found.
I fix this by creating a symlink from the mac address to the hex version of the IP...
Then it works.
This breaks automation for cobbler.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!
