http://www.stanford.edu/~alfw/PXE-Kickstart/PXE-Kickstart.html Well thank you all for your kind responses. This is what I currently have setup: * all on the same box 1) fc3 server 2) repository with the FC2 install 3) tftp server running 4) dhcpd server running 5) nfs server running dishing out the /repo above and /tftp (just in case) Now, I have the dhcpd.conf setup as follows: allow booting; allow bootp; option ip-forwarding false; option mask-supplier false; default-lease-time 259200; max-lease-time 259200; ddns-update-style ad-hoc; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 10.10.232.255; option routers 10.10.232.1; option domain-name-servers 10.10.1.13, 10.10.1.24, 10.10.1.55; option domain-name "americangreetings.com"; subnet 10.10.232.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.10.232.70 10.10.232.80; } group { # option dhcp-class-identifier "PXEClient"; <-- doesn't seem to work option vendor-encapsulated-options 09:0f:80:00:0c:4e:65:74:77:6f:72:6b:20:62:6f:6f:74:0a:07:00:50:72:6f:6d: 70:74:06:01:02:08:03:80:00:00:47:04:80:00:00:00:ff; next-server 10.10.232.54; filename "/tftp/pxelinux.0"; } My current /tftp (/tftpboot) tree looks like the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2443013 Jun 16 09:56 initrd-fc2.img drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 10:28 ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12952 Jun 16 10:08 pxelinux.0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 10:33 pxelinux.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1209805 Jun 16 09:56 vmlinuz-fc2 And /tftp/pxelinux.cfg/ as follows: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Jun 16 10:15 default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205 Jun 16 10:33 default.netboot-fc2 Now, when I reboot a server on the same network, and it goes through its PXE boot, it receives an IP from the DHCP server, as evidence by the following in the messages log: Jun 16 12:18:46 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Jun 16 12:18:46 yum1 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.10.232.80 to 00:03:47:11:3c:6b via eth0 Yet, the PXE boot sequence shortly quits and complains with the following error: PXE-E53: No boot filename received And then PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM Well, I am just trying to get this box to first pxe boot, grab an ip and use the pxe initrd and vmlinuz and boot. Being a newbie, can anyone point to anything that may be inconsistent? Or have any tips'n'tricks they care to share? I have googled and read many resources (a lot of GOOD resources out there), but am stuck with the above behavior. Thanks in advance Michael Weiner
