Unamble to install nodes with Cobbler

[Robin Casset]

Hello,

My name is Robin, I'm an apprentice engineer  at Bull SAS.
I recently install cobbler on a server to make some few test of it. I have been able to
import an iso, create a repo and set up profiles. The pxe file is generated and seems to
be good but when the node boot on the network I have a message "unable to find
files"

here are my node and image profiles :

text  ks=http://192.168.1.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/dep12

I can't see where is the mistake and I tried many options...

Thank's for you help!

Try stopping firewall service on the server.

execute "service firewalld stop" to stop the service.

Thanks,

Hi Robin,

Are you sure the tftp-server is listening and there's not a firewall (host or network
based that's blocking communication to that tftp port)?

Does the client system get a dhcp address from the server?

Cheers,
Harry
