Just another small point to add: There is a 2.4.20-30 lcfgng install kernel available from http://grid-it.cnaf.infn.it/packages/gridit/wp03/git-lcfgkernel-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.i386.rpm Name : git-lcfgkernel Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.4.20 Vendor: INFN Release : 30.7.legacy Build Date: Tue 22 Jun 2004 13:30:05 IST Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: lxferro.pd.infn.it Group : WP3/GRIDIT Source RPM: git-lcfgkernel-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.src.rpm Size : 1280372 License: GPL Signature : (none) Packager : Enrico Ferro <[log in to unmask]> URL : http://grid-it.cnaf.infn.it Summary : Grid.it LCFGng boot kernel Description : This is the kernel used during installation stage via PXE (none)drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jun 22 13:30 /share/doc/git-lcfgkernel-2.4.20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1007 Jun 22 13:30 /share/doc/git-lcfgkernel-2.4.20/README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18074 Jun 22 13:30 /share/doc/git-lcfgkernel-2.4.20/dot.config-2.4.20-30.7.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1260867 Jun 22 13:30 /tftpboot/kernel/kernelboot-2.4.20-30.7.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204 Jun 22 13:30 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/inst73-2.4.20-30.7.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 Jun 22 13:30 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/inst73-noint-2.4.20-30.7.cfg If it is a difference in going between kernel version, then this boot kernel should bypass that problem altogether.
