Fedora 10 Netinstall fails cause of
Last modified: 2008-10-27 03:35:40 EDT
Hello, I tried to install Fedora 10 Beta x86_64 with the Netinstall CD from a NFS-Sharing. Well done... everything fine, until the step with network connection. If I choosed DHCP the computer seems to wait for a DHCP-Adress, but nothing was happening. After this I get the same dialog again and choosed a fixed-IP.... After a returned timeout-freeze, I looked to Ctrl+Alt+F2, set up my ipadress with ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0 up route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 ping 192.168.0.100 (my nfs-server) - no answer arp - HW-Adress unknown arp - again arp - again arp - HW-Adresses resolved (whyever!?) ping 192.168.0.100 - answer! When I select an NFS-Storage after that I get this message after a recurrent freeze: The follogwing error occured while setting up the installation repository: (2, "mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.0.100:/mnt/nfs' failed: RPC Error: Program not registred\n3('') Please provide the correct information for installing Fedora. My Settings: Repository: Fedora 10-Beta IP: 192.168.0.100 Location: /media/nfs Options: by the way: On Ctrl+Alt+F4 I get a randomly written those messages every half second: <7>hub 6-0:1.0: state 7 ports 2 chg 0000 evt 0000 <7>hub 3-0:1.0: state 7 ports 2 chg 0000 evt 0000 Now I try to install Fedora with a DVD ;) pmb µatthias
Is your network card a gigabit realtek by any chance ? # lspci -nn | grep Ethernet You might be suffering from bug 460747.
yes it is :) $ lspci -nn | grep Ethernet 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200}: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express GigaBit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 01) µatthias
the most interesting is, that under the system itself, the dhcpclient works fine... I boot up my machine and get an IP :) pmb µatthias
