Is there any way of having differentiated ksdevices? I have a couple of different hardware layout and they dont all map ksdevice to the same eth. On one set of hosts it is eth8 on the other it is eth4.. Any suggestions?

EDA runs as a vm on a poweredge 2950 running ESXi embedded. Have tried it on an R900 running installed 3.5 with same result. It has to be something in the switch though as it works fine when using the crossover cable and no switch. Really nice appliance the EDA. Much easier to use than UDA, good work.
I finally got the KS file to pass on to the esx server. took the switch which is supposed to be blank out of the equation and used a crossover cable between EDA and ESX host. Have to have a look ... See more...
I finally got the KS file to pass on to the esx server. took the switch which is supposed to be blank out of the equation and used a crossover cable between EDA and ESX host. Have to have a look at that switch, although no VLANs are configured there has to be something else. Can STP affect this?
unfortunately I am not on site and able to test further until tomorrow so at least for me its not working yet.
As I said I tried the same setup on a closed switch setup with no VLANS with the same result. There are no other DHCP servers on the network. Strange this. Unfortunately this is on a customer sit... See more...

Great work with 0.81, this is coming along nicely. I am still having trouble getting this to work at all though. I have the appliance running in my ESX environment. Its running on on a VLAN, the same as the service consoles use. I have my PXE nic set to use the same VLAN and I am getting a DHCP address when PXE booting and the menu screen from the EDA. However it still fails when trying to send the KS script over. From the ESX host I am trying to install I get the following log: reverse name lookup failed ks location: http://193.149.133.8/ks/ks.php?hostname=cphgvs04 transferring http://193.149.133.8/./ks/ks.php?hostname=cphgvs04 to a fd failed to retrieve http://193.149.133.8///ks/ks.php?hostname=cphgvs04 trying to mount device hda trying to mount device scd0 When tailing daemon.log on the EDA I get the following: deployer dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:1e:4f:2b:85:f0 via eth0 deployer dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 193.149.133.94 to 00:1e:4f:2b:85:f0 via eth0 deployer dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 193.149.133.94 (193.149.133.8) from 00:1e:4f:2b:85:f0 via eth0 deployer dhcpd: DHCPACK on 193.149.133.94 to 00:1e:4f:2b:85:f0 via eth0 deployer in.tftpd[4409]: tftp: client does not accept options I have tried this in a non VLAN environment and the result is exactly the same. Please help ?:|

It does show my actual address, the myipaddress is just a habit of not posting IPs publicly :smileygrin:

I am still having trouble getting this to work. I can PXE fine and select the installation I want from the initial EDA screen ESX then proceeds to boot and stops at the select language screen which is where it should be doing the scriptet install. Behind the scenes I get: reverse name lookup failed ks location: http://myipaddress/ks/ks.php?hostname=myhostname transferring http://myipaddress/./ks/ks.php?hostname=myhostname to a fd failed to retrieve http://myipaddress///ks/ks.php?hostname=myhostname This is on a closed swtich with no vlans. I am setting ksdevice=eth8 and I have checked this manually. I can click through the installation and choose http install and catch the EDA no problems. I am at a loss here, feel like I have tried everything. Anyone have any usefull hints?
I noticed release 0.8 is ready but nowhere for download. Anyone know where I can get version 0.8?

I have tried the ksdevice setting. This results in me getting a list of all nics at the start of the installation process. The upside is that I can se what ethx is assigned to each nic. The downside is that choosing eth8 which is the nic I PXE boot of still doesnt work. Everything is VLAN'ed so its important that installation happens on the same nic that I PXE on. I know I can set ksdevice=eth8 but is there any way of forcing a VLAN tag at this stage?
I have been through just about every ethx with no luck. I have 4 x onboard broadcom and 2x4x intel nics. Took some time but still doesnt work. Any idea what might be going wrong?
