pxeboot

I tried installing PXE Boot Installation Server on RHEL 6.0. I seem to have done everything according to the page: http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html.

In my case, the client boots, gets DHCP IP address from our server, connects to the Kickstart server too, but then nothing happens. It shows: Loading 192.168.1.101: pxe.linux.0 .....

192.168.1.101 in my kickstart server.

Did any one face such a situation?

I'm using a test env on Oracle Virtualbox with DNS Server on RHEL 6.0, DHCP Server on CentOS 6.0 and Kickstart server on RHEL 6.0.

The image I'm trying to install is that of REHL 6.0!

Awaiting some responses!

Cheers, Anshuman

Why should I use cobbler over normal PXEBOOT server?

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
Maybe it's me but I find it easier to manage my simple pxeboot server just by editing the default file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg. I have my kickstart file available over NFS along with the DVD extracted to a centralize mount point. Other than PXEBOOT, what benefit would I get from running cobbler… >>> More
