There were entries in both /etc/ethers and /etc/bootparams on the jumpstart server for the same MAC address but a different machine name. I guess someone had tried to setup to jumpstart this machine to a different name in the past, but then hadn't actually done it. Many thanks to Adam Kirby, Andy Yother, and Todd Urie for the quick responses. -Dan dan.burton@trilogy.com afreet@artificialmusicmachine.com http://www.artificialmusicmachine.com/ ----- Forwarded by Dan Burton/Trilogy on 11/06/2002 11:32 AM ----- Dan.Burton@trilogy.com Sent by: To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org sunmanagers-admin@sunm cc: anagers.org Subject: ARP/RARP Timeout when trying to Jumpstart 11/06/2002 11:20 AM I've got a 420R that was abandoned by someone else at the company, so I'm trying to jumpstart it to just clean it up so I can use it. Anyway, I set up all the server-side jumpstart stuff, and then booted it with 'boot net - install', and it reboots, and then I get: Rebooting with command: boot net - install Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/network@1,1 File and args: - install Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet . . . And it just times out all day long. I let it go overnight, because I have seen it take a while before, but it always got there eventually before. I know that it has network connectivity, because if I let it boot normally, I can ping it. (however, I can't log into it because I don't know what any of the accounts are, and it looks like it's all messed up anyway - it throws file system errors all over the place - that's why I'm jumpstarting it). I tried manually adding an entry to the arp table on my jumpstart server, but that didn't seem to help either. Any ideas? -Dan dan.burton@trilogy.com afreet@artificialmusicmachine.com http://www.artificialmusicmachine.com/ _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Nov 6 12:40:55 2002
