Redhat 7 NFS installation problems
|
|
| PapaBear 2004-01-23, 7:35 pm |
| Please help.
I run a few computers in a network, among others a small one, an old 80486,
with only a diskette and a hard-disk. It ran Slackware 2.0.34, but that's
rather old. I'd like to install RedHat 7.0 and I'm trying to do so by
performing a
network install (NFS). My local domain is .prodeo. There are three boxes,
jacob, levi and benjamin. benjamin is the small one.
On jacob, I made a directory /RH7/RedHat and copied all the stuff from the
two binary CD's /RedHat directories there.
Next, I created an entry in the /etc/exports file, as follows:
/RH7/RedHat/ *.prodeo(rw)
I tried this from levi.prodeo and I am able to mount from there, no
problems.
Now I start benjamin from the netboot.img diskette and configure my eth0.
When asked I specify the ip address for jacob (where the nfs-install
directory is located).
The systems do recognize this action, jacob gives me a console message:
Aug 25 21:15:23 jacob rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request \
from benjamin.prodeo:611 for /RH7/RedHat (/RH7/RedHat)
This is the same message as I get from levi with a successful mount.
However, benjamin (in the NFS installation process) gives me a message box
stating:
"I could not mount that directory from the server"
Does anyone know what to do next? I'm out of options...

I'd recommend Redhat 7.3 which has less
bugs. 7.0 was pretty buggy, I think
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/ftp.redhat....7.3/en/iso/i386
May your problem is a bug in the install
routine...

try "lsmod" at the console. If your in
graphic mode do "ALT + F1" or F2 or F3...
Are there some modules for nfs loaded ??

| Tnx Boris,
But I'm not planning on spending any money on this, and my internet conn. is
a dial-up. And the fact that I receive that msg on console IMHO means that
NFS as such works like it should, or don't you think so?
Sincerely,
PapaBear
