      Realize that tftp and nfs have two different base paths. For tftp its /tftpboot and for nfs its /images. Do you have the repository files in the correct location?

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @rockinhc said in Centos/rhel install problem:

          kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/centos7-dvd/vmlinuz
          initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/centos7-dvd/initrd.img
          imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img root=live:nfs://${fog-ip}/images/os/centos7-dvd/LiveOS/squashfs.img ip=dhcp repo=nfs://${fog-ip}/images/os/centos7-dvd splash quiet
          boot || goto MENU

          Ah I think I see it.

          First I’m still questioning the root= live: nfs:// bit. But nfs paths have a colon after the host name.

          so
          root=live:nfs://${fog-ip}/images/os/centos7-dvd/LiveOS/squashfs.img
          should be written as:
          root=live:nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/centos7-dvd/LiveOS
          /squashfs.img

          and
          repo=nfs://${fog-ip}/images/os/centos7-dvd

          should be
          repo=nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/centos7-dvd

              @rockinhc Please click the “INSTALLATION SOURCE” button, take another picture of the settings and post here.

              According to this website the boot option is not repo=... but inst.repo=nfs:[options:]server:/path!

              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                So the setup per redhat documentation:
                https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options

                In particular, remove the // as the installer documentation shows it’s not to be set with nfs://

                inst.repo=nfs:${fog-ip}:/images/os/centos7-dvd

                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

                  You know I really wonder where I got that imgargs line from? Its complicated enough I just didn’t make it up. I searched last night but I couldn’t find a good example of netbooting centos 7.

                    Thank you George/Sebastian/Tom! This worked

                    inst.repo=nfs:${fog-ip}:/images/os/centos7-dvd

                    That’s strange since this is different from the instructions from link text

                      @rockinhc At one time, maybe the nfs:// worked fine, but it’s since been deprecated and as a part of that, i imagine when @george1421 created that article, the OS version wasn’t at the version it is now. Even though it’s still CentOS 7, its incremental upgrades may have removed the deprecated options as well.

                        @rockinhc The tutorial has been updated to reflect the currently in use kernel options. Thank you for the feedback.
