Figured it out! It appears that the upgrade changed some of both of the network_config snippets and did not overwrite (I only saw one renamed to .rpmnew initially)... once I took another look I found another, copied that one over and rebooted and now it is working fine.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! daniel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Lollman Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 8:05 PM To: cobbler mailing list Subject: Re: [cobbler] Multiple network devices detected Hi Owen - Thanks for the response.

Target OS is CentOS 6.2. I also tried ksdevice=mac but that did not work. These are new Supermicro servers but I find it hard to believe it is a NIC issue (like you said that is a long shot).. daniel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Cammarata Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 6:51 PM To: cobbler mailing list Subject: Re: [cobbler] Multiple network devices detected On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 5:17 PM, Daniel Lollman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all – > > > > Hoping someone can help me out, my google searches seem to have been > exhausted. > > > > I have deployed off of cobbler in the past and need to deploy 40 more > servers tonight.

If you've verified that's working ok, you can also try ksdevice=MAC. Beyond that, what version of cobbler are you using, along with the SYSLINUX version and the version of the OS you're installing. Could be you're using an older pxelinux, or maybe the hardware you're deploying on has NIC hardware newer than the OS recognizes? Admittedly, that's a long shot and happens more often with SCSI controllers (we ran into that issue with RHEL 4 on some newer Dell 11g servers despite the fact that it worked fine on early revisions of the same Dell gen). _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler ******************************************************* This message (including any files transmitted with it) may contain confidential and/or proprietary information, is the property of Interactive Data Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, and is directed only to the addressee(s).
