Description Michael Howard 2009-10-27 22:51:28 UTC

Description of problem:

Trying to install Fedora 12 beta using pxeboot -> pxelinux vmlinuz then using NFS to install

How reproducible:

Fails for me on two DL360 G2 machines & one Dell 4700 desktop mini-tower

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put Fedora 12 on your boot server ... vmlinuz + initrd.img for boot ... /etc/exports for NFS
2. successfully pxeboot and start the process
3. system times out after putting in NFS server information
  
Actual results:

unable to install

Expected results:

successful installation

Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to tty2, try ping nfs server or ifcfg to check the network configure.Attach the /tmp/anacdump.txt and "lspci -v" output.

Comment 2 Michael Howard 2009-10-28 13:38:25 UTC

Unfortunately, tty2 is not alive when I press Ctl+Alt+F2

tty2 is not available in F11 nor F10 either. 

using Ctl+Alt+F4 I can see that Network Manager log messages indicate that the NIC did successfully receive dhcp information. 

I will try to get some screen shots for you.
