Not sure if this is the right place to post, so please
let me know if it's wrong.
I've got 12 new Dell machines and decided to use RIS to
install them.
They'll all need the same programs as each other so I
created one machine with all the required programs and
the latest patches. I then used riprep to copy the image
to the RIS server.
All seemed to go ok and it copied over fine.
I then installed a compatible NIC (the on-board NICs
aren't recognised by the RIS boot floppy) and began the
remote installation. It installed fine, but when the new
machines boot up, I enter the product key and
registration info, but then it accepts it and reboots and
then goes through the process all over again, so the
machine never properly boots up!
Worst of all, the original machine that I made the image
from is doing the same thing, so I'll have to start
completely from scratch to get it working.
Anyone know how I can get over this prob?
