Matt,
      One more idea.  I'm wondering whether the export of /tftpboot is
somehow messed up, like somehow the hostname on the /tftpboot export line
does not match the hostname of the node.  One way to get around that, for
testing purposes, is to export /tftpboot to the world by removing the
hostnames from the line in /etc/exports.  Then you have to restart NFS,

service nfs restart

Subject:    Re: [Oscar-users] Another network booting question sorry




Hello,

Thank you for the new kernel I have put it in place an tried the oscar
installation again.  This time there is no
IP-Config:No Network devices available
complaint  but other wise it is still the same and it can't mount the
NFS-root system.  I have checked the NFS server by mounting the directories
manually and that works fine, changes to the pxelinux.cfg file work so it
can read that okay.  Do you have any ideas of other things I should check
or change?

Thanks for all your help,
Matt
