* What does /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/xxxxxxx look like (where
xxxxxxxx corresponds to your system)?
o Is xinetd (or standalone tftpd) running?
* What does the host entry (corresponding to your system) in
/etc/dhcpd.conf look like?
o Is dhcpd running?
* Are you 100% positive that there is an ethernet link on eth0 and
not on some other NIC? (you may want to try setting
ksdevice=link in your tftp boot file)?
* Do you observe dhcp-related noise on the cobbler server
(tcpdump, etc.) indicating that the provisioned system is
communicating properly? Are there any f/w's, vlan issues (you
may need a dhcp helper address if your system is on a separate
vlan than the cobbler server), etc. that might interfere with
the boot process?
* Can you provide a more detailed list of what shows up on the
console during the boot process?
in addition to not using DHCP the box that i am trying to get cobbler
running already provisions machines using kickstart over http using a
bit of a home brew system. I am trying to get rid of this system and use
cobbler like we do in other environments so from a network level there
should be no issues getting the install tree over http as it already
does that and i can get the kickstart etc over http to the client with a
wget and it looks correct so i am a little stumped.
