Jacob, Do you have the server set to PXE boot as the first option, and ETH0 as the boot interface for PXE? What hardware are you using that you are trying to boot?
I've had troubles in the past with Dell BIOS settings, if you switch to PXE boot as first order, it switches the network interface orders (in the case of multiple NICs) back to "factory default". You then have to reboot, go in to BIOS, and specify the correct NIC to use for the PXE boot process. It's a two step process. Might be a bug in the version of BIOS we're running. In either case - make *certain* you have PXE boot first, and ETH0 as the interface to boot from. ~~shane > -----Original Message----- > From: crowbar-boun...@dell.com [mailto:crowbar-boun...@dell.com] On > Behalf Of Jacob Kuhl > Sent: Monday, October 07, 2013 2:24 PM > To: crowbar@dell.com > Subject: [Crowbar] Bootstrap Node > > Hello everyone I am currently having some trouble getting the PXE to > happen when installing the admin node.
