Hi linux Gurus,
I am trying to configure a network installation server on CentOS(2.6.9).
No, it's CentOS 4.something. The kernel is 2.6.9-something. Please be
clear... there are major differences between the different CentOS
versions.
Server : Centos 4.3 final kernel (2.6.9-34.El)
CLient : Centos 4.3 final kernel (2.6.-34.el)
The point where i stucked is .
The client is not able to find my dhcp server.
The steps which i have taken is:
1) copy all the 4 cd disk to /data/network-install/x86/CentOs/RPM
2) copy all the 4 cd image to /data/network-install/x86/CentOs/ISO
3)configured NFS as (in /etc/exportfs)
/data/network *(ro,sync)
4)configured ftp as
anon_root=/data/network-install/x86/CentOs/RPM
5) Configured dhcp server by putting mac address ,hostname and ip.
Are you sure you started the DHCP daemon, dhcpd?
Yes: i have restarted the dhcpd service.
Now after booting the client with CentOs 1st cd and choosing te option :-
1) Lan Boot
results: perfect (i.e it get the ip same address as mentioned in Dhcp)
2) linux askmethod
a) Dynamic Ip by dhcp
results:- fail with error
Pump Told us : no dhcp reply recived.
Hell, the installer still uses pump? Jeeze!
What do mean by 'still uses pump' ??
b) static ip
results:- proceed , but failed to mount the nfs share and anonymous
dir shared by the server.
This sounds like a firewall issue to me. Get on the server and verify
that you've opened the firewall for NFS and DHCP.
Yes : their is no firewall on the server .(i.e iptable is stoped)
Hope the above Information will clear my situation .
I am not getting any way around, can any one show me a light.
Any suggestion is welcome.
One thing i will like to mention here is that after installation ,
client find my dhcp successfully . and also
And also....what?
It's odd that after installation dhclient finds the dhcp server, but
not before. Again, this could be a firewall issue and you're not
actually using DHCP but a fixed IP.
I know is odd but its happening . and i am getting the pump error when
ever i used the dhcp option at installation time.
Firewall is off on server .
Dhcp server is configured as,
ip range 50-100 is reserved for laptop(i.e they always get different
ip when plugged) and rest machines are hardcore with their mac
address.
Can you suggest me were do i look for the fault.
