Re: Installing 80 workstations with PXE

However, when I start the installation on more than one pc at a time (I have

memory, load the kickstart file and when they look for the ISO file (I
guess) it says: Unable to mount NFS Share.

But remember, one pc at a time, it work perfectly.

Here is the DHCP.conf file:

Is there anything that makes you think it's a DHCP issue? From your
description it sounds as though the DHCP is fine. How many NFS clients
is the server configured for? What are the mount parameters (both on a
typical client and on the server)?

Any thing in dmesg on the NFS server? What about /var/log/messages.
