Hi all
I am wanting to update Debian on an INDY/INDIGO2
from the network using Redhat 7.2 on a PC as a boot server.
Has anybody got a success story with Redhat 7.2 or similar
with a xinetd.conf & /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
configuration.
I get halfway there it seems. But now stuck with a
"bind failed " address conflict with TFTP .
I can boot OK & NFS mount using Sparc Redhat 5.2 on a very
old SUN machine but now doesn't have enough disk space etc.
The SUN used ,bootp & inetd .
The PC uses . dhcpd & xinetd .
The dhcpd component seems OK as:
#################################################
Sending BOOTP requests..... OK IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 147.10.121.111, my address is 147.10.121.98 IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 147.10.121.111, my address is 147.10.121.98 ################################################# when booting a kernel from the local disk is
attempted. (boot requests OK)
EG
>> boot -f linux root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0
will produce the "Sending BOOTP requests..... OK"
response.
So DHCPD works. at least to a point.
BUT the configuration for TFTP is broken.
It produces an error in /var/log/messages when
initialising or tying to intialise xinetd.
##########
localhost xinetd[1233]: bind failed (Address already in use
(errno = 98)). service = tftp
Nov 30 02:26:49 localhost xinetd[1233]: {init_services} no services. Exiting... ##########
TFTP config file follows:
(something is obviously wrong with it.)
#################################################
# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \ # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \ # and to start the installation process for some operating systems. service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot } #################################################
And trying to debug .................
