Lissa,
Thanks for the pointers. It appears that everything is set up
properly. 192.168.3.6 is the IP of the xcatmaster.
# lsdef node24
Object name: node24
addkcmdline=console=ttyS0,115200

tftpserver=192.168.3.6
xcatmaster=192.168.3.6
When the install completes I can log into the node and from there tftp,
http, etc. back to 192.168.3.6. There's no firewall in place so nothing
is getting blocked (actually there's an iptables rule in place to allow
anything from 192.168.3.0/24 on that interface). Any other
suggestions? Is there some relatively easy way to trace whats going on
to get a better idea of where its failing?
Thanks,
-Bruce
