detailed description and patch
clntudp_call timeouts are broken as described in bug 104345 . Applied some bits of this that weren't there, mostly left out the nfsmount changes, though. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: With the combination of Intel Westville systems, and RedHat 9.0, access to the kickstart file via NFS does not work. With RedHat 8.0, there was no problem, and other hardware will work with RedHat 9.0. Problem seems to ba caused by changes in anaconda, and by the fact that the ethernet controller of theIntel Westville system needs some time to stabilize, before the network is usable. This requires reasonable error recovery procedures within anaconda. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Prepare PXE environment, option "ks" without parameters. 2.Make sure that kickstart file is accessible via NFS. 3.Boot the client. Actual Results: Kickstart file is not retrieved from NFS server. Anaconda asks for language selection. Expected Results: Fully automatic kickstart should run. Additional info: Several bugs have been found in the source code, see attachment. With the supplied patch, anaconda works as expected.
