I am using Network Install to install Ubuntu 7.10 to a new server. No problems getting TFTP server running and configuring DHCP3, when the target machine boots it is handed an IP within 1-2 seconds then immediately goes to the Ubuntu install screen. The problem I am having is when connection to us.archive.ubuntu.com, or any other archive for that fact- I receive the following error: Code: Bad Archive Mirror The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either unavailable, or does not have the valid release file on it. The TFTP server is connected to a switch which is tied directly to a DS1 modem with a static IP. In '/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf' I have the DS1 router as the default gateway: Code: subnet 65.197.xxx.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 { range 65.197.xxx.100 65.197.xxx.114; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.128; option broadcast-address 65.197.xxx.255; option routers 65.197.xxx.1; filename "ubuntu-7.10/install/netboot/pxelinux.0"; server-name "giganetwireless.com"; You can see that the gateway I have defined on the line 'option routers 65.197.xxx.1' points to the DS1 router. What am I missing here? Your input and suggestions would be appreciated... Thank you Regards
I found the problem! I was using the incrrect DNS numbers in '/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf' at 'option domain-name-servers'... Network Boot worked like a charm to load Ubuntu onto a new HD! For later referrence this is a very easy and complet Network Boot tutorial: http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/ubuntu-network-install/ Thank you everyone
