From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011226 Description of problem: When doing a kickstart installation using DHCP, the following error is reported: "<11>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: failed to set default route: Network is unreachable" After this point it fails its NFS mount and brings up the interactive install process. During the interactive install process, if you specify to obtain an IP through DHCP it receives the IP address fine and can peform the NFS mount. Clearly this is not a DHCP issue because the install receive a valid response, but only when it is done interactively. This is done with Compaq DL320 hardware and the latest ISC DHCP Server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Peformed DHCP kickstart installation using Compaq DL320 on eth0 2.Watched the install process. 3.Watch install fail. Actual Results: "<11>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: failed to set default route: Network is unreachable" Expected Results: It should obtain the default router and carry on. Additional info: The virtual console of the install actually shows that it received the default router from the dhcp server. here is a dump below (IPs #'d out to protect the innocent). ###PUMP: got lease <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: device: eth0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf:set: 288 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: bootServer: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: reqLease: 0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: bootFile: pxelinux.0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: ip: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: next server: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: netmask: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: gateway: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: dnsServers[0]: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: dnsServers[1]: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: numDns: 2 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: domain: cool.mydomain.com <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: broadcast: ###.###.###.### <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: network: ###.###.###.### <4>nfs warning: mount version older than kernel <7>eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped. <11>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: failed to set default route: Network is unreachable
I think it would help to know what some of the #'s were, otherwise its going to be hard to debug. We have not had this problem reported before so we'll have to dig deeper.
You got it, here's the message with IP info, thanks. ###PUMP: got lease <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: device: eth0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf:set: 288 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: bootServer: 192.168.81.71 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: reqLease: 0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: bootFile: pxelinux.0 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: ip: 192.168.81.39 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: next server: 192.168.83.40 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: netmask: 255.255.255.128 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: gateway: 192.168.81.1 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: dnsServers[0]: 192.168.6.60 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: dnsServers[1]: 192.168.6.61 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: numDns: 2 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: domain: unilab.digex.com <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: broadcast: 192.168.81.127 <15>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: intf: network: 192.168.81.0 <4>nfs warning: mount version older than kernel <7>eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped. <11>Jan 15 17:58:42 loader: failed to set default route: Network is unreachable
Thanks, assigning to an engineer.
This is in pump because the ioctl() to set the default route failed for some reason...
Problem between screen and chair. Fixed. Sorry guys. Problem was specifying the wrong default gateway in the kickstart file.
