[Unattended] How to submit a support request for Unattended?

[Nick Ramsey]

Hi



How do I submit a support request?

I can't find a forum to join but it seems I mail this list - and somehow
that leads to a post?



Anyway, I have a Dell server I want to install SBS on.
I have put all the disks under "os" and have set up TFTP.

I have aliased ntinstall server name and can access the share on my
Windows network from another machine (I had to add an OptionNames
registry entry, not mentioned in the documentation).



I can boot to Linux pxe, and start the script and it gets to mounting
the share as z: but fails with a cifs.mount failed error.

TFTP says cannot find file.



I'm not sure why this fails and I have no Linux knowledge anyway, but I
couldn't manually connect if I did - I think? I couldn't pick up the
script from where itr failed.



What is the cause of this and how do I fix it?

I have the CNAME alias and can access \\ntinstall\install
<file:///\\ntinstall\install> from Windows - is it failing to find that
in the script, or to mount it? Or is it something else?



Thanks for any help.

Hi Nick!

Your letters a little messy I'm not sure ...
1. Where you install the DHCP and TFTP infrastructure, Linux or Windows box?
Is the target box started the PXE boot, but stuck on mount of the share
\\ntinstall\install to /z ? In this case you can try mount manually, I
would try using IP address of the share for example #mount.cifs
//192.168.1.1/install /z -o user=guest

2. Where is the unattended/install share installed? - on a windows box?

Hi Nick,

please try to ping it by it's Name "ntinstall".
I went into the problem, that a manual DNS-Entry as an option in my DD-WRT
doesn't effect all Linux PCs, it just works for Windows-boxes.
Currently I don't know why. I'm currently overriding it with the IP of the
server.

Can you try to copy the whole Error? I'm not sure about what TFTP has to do
with mounting the install-dir.

Regards
- Christof
