Yes, this sounds like the correct explanation! Our RHEL5.6 PXE/TFTP/NFS server is certainly configured for NFSv3. I haven't explored the NFSv4 approach though.
How can we tweak the CentOS6 Kickstart installation to explicitly request an NFSv3 service in the PXE config file:
If there is such an option then I could not find it. Maybe someone else knows how to force NFSv3.
kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img networkks=nfs:130.226.86.4:/u/rpm/kickstart/ks-centos-6-clean-i386.cfg
To rephrase my question: Where do we find documentation for the vmlinuz append flags shown above, in particular documentation of the ks=... flags?
Try the Installation Guide: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/
Hopefully there'll be some way to force an NFSv3 mount in stead of the default NFSv4?Or perhaps we need to use http: and stop using nfs: with CentOS6?
I have used NFS (v3 & v4) and HTTP and for me HTTP was faster so I continued to use HTTP.
