I'm trying to upgrade everything to 7.8, but auto_install under
PXE is acting up. It gets to the ... (A)utoinstall ... prompt
and then just sits there. No more five second timeout where
it just carries on with the autoinstall. Nothing in our PXEboot
setup has changed; we've been running this configuration for a
decade now with no hiccups. I am stumped. Any ideas?
Here is the tail end of the console output. After three minutes
I answered the prompt and verified the boot NIC is actually alive.
