Thanks Mauro, Mark, Alan and everyone.. Mark, My parm file has these lines: Install=nfs://ipaddress/install/penguin/SLES/sles12sp2/dvd1 UseSSH=1 SSHPassword=12345678 upgrade=1 nfsopts=tcp,vers=3,nolock
The /etc/exports on the nfs server has this line: /install/penguin -vers=3,sec=sys:none,rw And I'm able to mount the mountpoint successfully from this client before kicking off the install script. NFS version is 3. Alan, I opened a ticket a few weeks ago. The latest thing they said to me, today, is to try is just using a dvd. Mauro, I tried using http today instead and it worked‼ I'm so happy I can move on. Thanks again everyone!

That's why I typically recommend _not_ using NFS. It's very difficult to get any debugging information out of it compared to FTP or HTTP. What are you specifying in the parameter file? What does the /etc/exports file on the NFS server have in it? What version of NFS is running on the NFS server?
