Hi Bernard,

According to the code, that message just means it is going to try to
DHCP the host:

http://trac.systemimager.org/browser/branches/4.2.x/initrd_source/skel/etc/init.d/functions#L968

And it looks like it is trying to, but failed.

Is dhcpd running on your server (did you run si_mkbootserver)?
yes I did

Did SystemImager correctly identify your nic and is using the correct
one to DHCP?  Any reason why you're using a bridge interface (br0) as
opposed to standard ethernet interface?
I think SI doesn't identify correctly the nice since it fails back to
something like socket fallback and
after there's DHCPDISCOVERY lo port 67 interval xx
I tried also eth0 with same result.
weird since the nic (intel 1000e) are the same of the previous node I installed

BTW, this is a quick start guide on how to use SystemImager:

http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/Quick_Start_HOWTO
Ok thanks I check it again now

Cheers,

Bernard

Thank you Bernard

PS: is there any cheatcode if I answer right to the monty python question ? ;)
