<small>Thanks but ...<br>
I tried this but still no success<br>
I tried it also with a client with 1 NIC but still no luck<br>
Client still hangs after<br>
<br>
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready<br>
<br>
In my dhcp log files I see for this client<br>
dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.52.10 (192.168.52.133) from
00:11:43:5d:e2:fa via eth0<br>
dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.52.10 to 00:11:43:5d:e2:fa via eth0</small><br>

Actually that is exactly my second problem (cf yesterday's
email).

This one does not always help, as device number is not stable.
On the server I
<br>
currently face the problems with many disks I face the same as
it has 4 NICs
<br>
connected to it.
<br>
<br>
Sometimes it seems that appending
<br>
<br>
IPAPPEND 3
<br>
<br>
the the pxelinux.cfg file helps, sometimes it does not.
<br>
<br>
Using live-netdev=ethX to force it seems to work mostly, but as
said it's not
<br>
stable. Ideally, the scripts in the initrd should try to re-use
the interface
<br>
it got the initial kernel and initrd from as I guess this will
be the case for
<br>
close to 100% of the cases. IPAPPEND 3 should do that trick if I
understand it
<br>
correctly (there were a few threads on this list months(years?)
ago on that.
<br>
<br>
However, it does not always work :(
<br>
<br>
So far, I have yet to find a solution for it as well

Hi,
<br>
<br>
I tries all these options non of them worked
<br>
I still have to try several times (7-15 times) to get the client
installed
<br>
<br>
<br>
This is the modifiedpxelinux.cfg file
<br>
<br>
# generated by fai-chboot for host greenland10 with IP
192.168.52.10
<br>
default fai-generated
<br>
<br>
label fai-generated
<br>
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686
<br>
append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 ip=dhcp live-netdev=eth0
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install
<br>
IPAPPEND 3
<br>
#####
<br>
<br>
I tried different combination wtih live-netdev and IPAPPEND
without success
<br>
<br>
<br>
After 'eth0: link becomes ready' the client hangs
<br>
<br>
When I restart the client a few times sometimes I am lucky and
the client boot and installs successfully
<br>
<br>
Is their no solution for this. It is demotivating to install a
lot of clients
<br>
<br>
Many thanks
<br>
Regards

I've had some issues with multiple NICs and dhcp as well and I've
now resorted to
<br>
fixing a few parameters and avoiding the dchp client call ... I've
had good success
<br>
since.
<br>
<br>
I think the dhcp client still makes the call though but fixing
these parameters
<br>
helps.
<br>
<br>
here's an example:
<br>
<br>
# generated by fai-chboot for host james with IP 172.16.178.144
<br>
default fai-generated
<br>
<br>
label fai-generated
<br>
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.38-grml64
<br>
append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.38-grml64 ethdevice=eth0
ip=172.16.178.144:172.16.178.229:172.16.178.1:255.255.255.0:james:eth0:none
root=/dev/nfs boot=live
nfsroot=/export/home/fai/squeeze/nfsroot-amd64
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install
<br>
<br>
You will find the description of those parameters in the kernel
source tree ...
<br>
in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt
<br>
<br>
HTH,
<br>
<br>
Best,
