 | | | kickstart file not found during PXE boot | kickstart file not found during PXE boot 2006-02-10 - By Chris Hare
Back
This has had me running in circles for the last few hours. Admittedly, this
is my first time using a kickstart file.
I followed the instructions in the Sys Admin manual for setting up for a PXE
boot.
The PXE client is successful at getting its static IP address from the DHCP
server.
It can download the TFTP images to boot.
But I immediately get an error that the kickstart file (null) isn't found.
(No such file or directory). If I can fix this darn thing, this machine
will be running pretty damn fast because I think I have the other kinks
worked out of it (I hope).
The kickstart file is located in /tftpboot/linux-install/rhel-ES-4 and is
called ks-firewall.cfg The boot images are found okay in this directory.
Here is the config data from /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/default
