Hello,
I'm trying to configure a server to do remote installations of Redhat
7.1. I've found a few documents describing how to do this. I'm looking
to use DHCP, TFTP, and Kickstart to accomplish what I want. I've set up
DHCP and that seems to be working ok. If I do "pump -i eth0" from a
client linux box it obtains an IP. The same client is unable to obtain
an IP if I boot it to the network. I installed TFTP on the server, I
enabled it, and restarted inetd. When the client boots up it errors out
at "can not find boot image". I have a pxelinux.0 and a kickstart file
renamed to pxelinux.1 in the /tftpboot directory. I'm not fully
comprehending how the procedure should work as a whole. Can anyone
point me to some documentation on configuring DHCP/TFTP/Kickstart. If
anyone has a similar setup, can you please email me some hints? I'm
willing to RTFM, I just don't know where to start. Thanks.
