ks file not found via dhcp

[Iain Morrison]

Hi Chris,
  in the dhcpd.conf file we have

        filename "/export/n_os/ks/";
        next-server A.B.C.D; 

where A.B.C.D is the NFS host.

I'm happy to file a bugzilla report if you don't think it is a
misconfiguration on my part.

thanks

iain

That's the problem right there.  This is printed out in the
getFileFromNfs function, specifically in the path of looking for the
implicit kickstart file location.  It means the following is failing:

            server_name = nm_dhcp4_config_get_one_option(dhcp,
"server_name");
            if (!server_name) {
                logMessage(ERROR, "no bootserver was found");
                g_object_unref(client);
                return 1;
            }

I wonder if that DHCP option even exists, or if this is a problem with
the NM
bindings, or what.  Could you file a bug about this?

- Chris
