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 .=20 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=3D/dev/sda1
console=3DttyS0=20
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 =3D = 98)). service =3D tftp Nov 30 02:26:49 localhost xinetd[1233]: {init_services} no services. = Exiting... ########## TFTP config file follows:
(something is obviously wrong with it.) #################################################
