Hi Dan, Thanks for responding. I think that your kernel option is similar to 'netcfg/choose_interface', and in any case on my system was set to ksdevice: bootif
That was actually a nice pointer, because the solution seems to be setting kernel option BOOTIF=<mac> and leaving netcfg/choose_interface=auto, rather than assigning it as I had been. So far, that seems to be working with the few permutations I've tested. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615600 Thanks, Asher On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Dan White <[email protected]> wrote: > In /etc/cobbler/settings: > > kernel_options: > ksdevice: eth0 > > or whichever one you want to use. > > “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere > in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” > Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Asher Newcomer" <[email protected]> > To: "cobbler mailing list" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 9:51:16 AM > Subject: [cobbler] Setting PXE interface to eth0 > > > Hi All, > > > I have a machine with multiple nics, and the nic that is being used to > boot from pxe ends up getting set as eth2 by Ubuntu 12.04 after install. > > > This causes some problems for mac address mappings and some other > assumptions I've made.
