I can see that the modules are loading but systems still aren't
finding the repo, and the interfaces don't seem to be available. I
think something may be wrong with my autoyast file, which was
generated from a dvd install. It seems after the initial pxe boot the
interface is left with no configuration. Time to hit the autoyast
docs..

I'm testing with two dell models, the T1500 and 990. They seem to use a
broadcom and e1000e driver respectively. I've unpacked the initrd,
moved those
modules in and repacked. I'll let you know how I make out, thanks for your
help.

I have a cobbler server running openSUSE 12.1 that will deploy
openSUSE 12.1.
Currently systems get dhcp then pxe boot via tftp and fail to find
the install repo.
At that point I can manually specify where the repo is
(http://192.168.100.1/cblr/links/openSUSE121-x86_64)
and I'm told that there is no interface, and that the kernel may
not support my nic.
Has anyone been through something like this?

A little more info:
I can connect a machine that is already booted to a working OS, get
dhcp and see what appears to be the
contents of the install DVD that cobbler imported when I open
http://192.168.100.1/cblr/links/openSUSE121-x86_64 in a
browser.

It sounds like the initrd doesn't have a corresponding module for your NIC.
What sort of machine/NIC?
I've seen this with ESX hosts in the past. If you create a VM with a VMXNET
adapter, it'll do the initial PXE boot to pull down its bootloader, which
then doesn't have a kernel module for the VMXNET out-of-the-box (because
that'd normally come with VMWare Tools).
What's the output of 'lsmod' on the running system? And if you dig into the
initrd for the distribution, does it contain an equivalent module?
Will.
