Since the rpm have built in dependancies unless you did --nodeps they are
guarenteed to work (ie setup nbd correctly for xinet etc) so
1) You have a router that is answering the DHCP query or
2) tftp is not running. You need to setup that with Admin->services
3) Your DHCP is not configured correctly:
------ my dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.5.255;
option routers 192.168.5.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.5.254;
option domain-name "home"; # You really should fix this
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
get-lease-hostnames true;
next-server 192.168.5.102;
subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.5.121 192.168.5.125;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
}
else{
filename "/ltsp/vmlinuz-2.6.20.9-ltsp-1";
}
---- my xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers,
\
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
The RHEL rpm setup RHEL/CentOS *exactly* as an ubuntu-gutsy server, so if you
can setup a running ubuntu-gutsy then the RH is the same.
