 Hi gurus,

 just after summarizing my request from yesterday I immediately hit onto
 a new problem with the ris server. While yesterday I was able to start
 the installation procedure and hit problems only when I started
 the packet selection (and with the ris home directory),
 today I get the following error message from my client when
 following installation instaructions for pws433:
 (of course I did not change anything on the boothost except
 allowing rsh and rexec access)

>>> boot -fi "" ewa0
Trying BOOTP boot
Broadcasting BOOTP request...
..file open failure for bootp/ewa0.0.0.3.0

bootstrap failure

Retrying, type ^C to abort...

(boot ewa0.0.0.3.0 -flags a)

...
and so on...


The joind on the ris server boothost logs the following:

 ============================================================
   616 941814350.420271 Packet arrived on Friday November 05 16:05:50
   617
   618 received on address iii.jjj.xxx.255
   619 xid=0xcbde1f96 secs=0 flags=000000 chaddr=00:00:f8:79:5a:3b
   620 unpacked payload:
   621 ht=1:ha=00.00.f8.79.5a.3b:ci=0.0.0.0:gi=0.0.0.0:sa=0.0.0.0:yi=0.0.0.0:
   622
   623 client 00:00:f8:79:5a:3b is on net iii.jjj.xxx.0 inconsistent with static
   623 BOOTP IP address iii.jjj.xxx.abc



and repeats it for every request from the client.

my bootptab entry looks reasonable (as created by ris "add client"):

.ris.dec:hn:vm=rfc1048
.ris0.alpha:tc=.ris.dec:bf=/ris/r0k1:rp="boothost:/ris/r0p1":
client.aip.de:tc=.ris0.alpha:ht=ethernet:ha=0000f8795a3b:ip=iii.jjj.xxx.abc:



/var/adm/ris/clients/risdb contains:

client.aip.de:00-00-f8-79-5a-3b:ris0.alpha,product_1,product_2,product_3,product_5,product_6,product_7,product_8:client:/ris/r0k1

and of course a /var/adm/ris/clients/sets/client directory exists
with dummy (executable) preinstall and postload routines and some
files I need to install by the postload.


But as I see it the boot process does not even get this far.

Any ideas are welcome.


Tschüß,
                                                Dieter
