Kickstart RHEL6 issue with ProLiant DL360p G8

[UsmanS]

Hi,

I have kickstarted few Proliant DL360p G8 server with RHEL5.7 using HP-CMU (Cluster Management Utility) which works perfectly fine. Now, I need to kickstart one of the server with RHEL6 using the same HP-CMU. I have created the kickstart file but when I run the command [cmu> autoinstall "rhel6" nodename], I can see that the server reboots, broadcasts the mac address and finds the kickstart server and loads the kernel but then I get stuck with the following error and the server hangs ...

CLIENT IP: 10.8.234.1  MASK: 255.255.255.0  DHCP IP: 10.8.234.200

Ready.

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok

After that the server just hangs and I have to reboot it.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong or what might have went wrong ?

Are you using RHEL 6.0? The minimum for the DL360 Gen8 is RHEL 6.1. Actually you should really start with RHEL 6.2 as there is a kdump issue with 6.1
