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:
kernel CentOS-6-i386/vmlinuz
append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=CentOS-6-i386/initrd.img network
ks=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?
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?
Thanks,
