Hi Lukas, and thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this.
Unfortunately I've been really busy with operational tasks today and haven't had any time to devote to this at all. What's happening though is this: - I boot the target machine (currently just an Ubuntu VM) with the generic bootdisk option - The machine boots, gets an IP address off our existing DHCP infrastructure, and contacts Foreman to look for a machine configured with its MAC - The machine finds a corresponding MAC address registered in Foreman, and proceeds to build via the templates outlined at the GitHub bootdisk page: "Preseed default iPXE", "Preseed default", and "Preseed default finish" I haven't modified any of these templates at this stage while I try to understand the process. At some stage fairly early on in the build though, it seems I lose my IP address, and the build subsequently fails, as it can't download any required files. By this stage I can't find my VM on the network anymore either. I hope I've explained this ok. Does this make sense? Thanks for your comments regarding setting a DHCP option inside the preseed or kickstart file. I suspect that's all I may need to do perhaps. Sorry for the possibly stupid question, but would you be able to give me any guidance on how to set DHCP inside the preseed file (which one?) and / or inside the RHEL kickstart file in Foreman? I should have a bit more time for this tomorrow and am more than happy to provide screenshots / error messages / log files as necessary - I just don't want to bomb you right now with potentially unnecessary extra stuff.
