Description of problem: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-kickstart2-networkbased.html states dhcpd.conf should be modified, 'filename' should be set to a path where later a kickstart-file gets fetched. Variable usually contains pxelinux.0 or another netbootloader. The kickstart-url can be supplied via kernel option to the booted kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Lookup specified document. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: If dhcpd.conf is modified as suggested no netloader is fetched, pxe cannot be performed. Expected results: Doc could guide to supply kickstart-url via kernel option. Or maybe 'filename' in dhcpd.conf could indeed be used, but that deployment wouldnt be pxe-started using the same dhcp-server-configuration. Additional info:
Thanks Christian; Section rewritten along the lines you suggest in build 1.0-19 of the Installation Guide. Note to QE:new material starts at "Include the ks kernel boot option in the append line of a target in your pxelinux.cfg/default file to specify the location of a kickstart file on your network." and continues to the end of the subsection.
