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

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<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>

I tried different combination wtih </font><font size="-1">live-netdev
and IPAPPEND without success</font><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>
