Hi Olivier andJesse
I'm having trouble with tftp for network booting, "PXE 32 tftp open
timeout" Is this related to the problem you just mentioned , I am using
Centos 6 and OSCAR 6 as well. I have tried all the solutions I hv found
online, but none of them has worked, thus, disabling firewall, iptables, making
sure xinetd and tftp server are running, putting dhcp and xinetd on the
same machine, I also tried to write the image to a disk and install from
there and its hanging before it goes far,
Is this something i can resolve or its it needs me to wait for the system
imager fix? I am building a small cluster for an academic project and I
have taken longer than I was allowed to to get things running. Is there a
quick fix I can do?
Thank you for your response
