Hi All, I'm having trouble installing Oscar / RH 9 on a small cluster I'm building.
All the server packages install fine and I am able to build the client image ok. However, when I try to PXE boot the client nodes I run into problems. A node will receive an IP address from the DHCP server and tftp the kernel and initrd.img files across. Everything then appears to work fine until SystemImager issues the DHCPDISCOVER requests. At this point it appears that the nodes are only issuing DHCP requests on the lo interface, and not on eth0. When no DHCP server is found I end up at the BusyBox shell prompt. ifconfig then shows that indeed only the loopback interface is configured. It appears that the SystemImager kernel is not detecting the NIC in the nodes. Each node is a Shuttle XPC SN42G2 with FN41 mainboard, NVIDIA nForce2 chipset and RealTek 8201BL onboard NIC. I had a look at the SystemImager config files and it looks like the appropriate network drivers (8139too or rtl8139) are correctly compiled in so I'm surprised that the NIC is not working. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
