Hi all. I'm having trouble getting my networking set up correctly. I've used FAI before, but I'm not an expert, and this is my first try with ubuntu (hardy).
I'm using fai-cd (to a usb drive) with this in menu.lst: title Fully Automatic Installation - BOOTP kernel /boot/vmlinuz boot=live FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt,sshd" FAI_ACTION=install ip=:130.58.68.7:130.58.68.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:bootp initrd /boot/initrd.img The install mostly works, but IPADDR and HOSTNAME don't get set. If I change that ip= line to ip=130.58.68.37:130.58.68.7:130.58.68.1:255.255.255.0:horseradish:eth0:bootp then the IPADDR is ok, but HOSTNAME still equals "host" (and I don't really want to specify the ip address -- that's what bootp is for, right?). Any ideas? This is also my first time using fai-cd. Install server = Ubuntu 8.04 with fai-server 3.2.4+svn4837, and also trying to install ubuntu hardy. I've put the log files here: http://web.cs.swarthmore.edu/failogs Bootp seems to respond correctly to bootptest, but during the install I see no bootp log messages on the server and nothing using tcpdump. jeff
