Network installation errors

Network installation errors

I 'm trying to do a network installation but am not having much luck. These
are the messages I get. On terminal 1, I get the message:



Unable to retrieve http://192.168.5.188/RHEL3/RedHat/base/netstg2.img
< http://192.168.5.188/RHEL3/RedHat/base/netstg2.img >



On terminal 3, these are the last messages:

< http://192.168.5.188/RHEL3/RedHat/base/updates.img > to fd

My server is a Dell PowerEdge 2650. I 'm using the RHEL 3 disc 1 to initially
boot the server. At the RedHat "boot: " prompt, I 'm entering the command:



linux ks= http://192.168.5.188/RHEL3/kickstart/ks_myserver.cfg



The kickstart file exists and the messages on terminal 3 prior to the ones I
listed above suggest the installation can see and read the kickstart file.
If I boot the server into rescue mode, I can use wget to retrieve the
netstg2.img file, so I know it exists and is visible to the installation.
The messages suggest the image files are being copied to a floppy drive?



What don 't I know?



Thanks!



Andrew Robinson
