Hangs at 'Please Wait' on my client screen

[Bartock]

Hi ;

If anyone can shed some light on this, please do!

I have my server configured for Full Clonezilla Mode
The dhcp server is on it's own network
The PXE menu comes up and I select the item to d/l and install an image.
It appears to load clonezilla and looks like it begins to write the image to the client.
However, it sits at a screen 'Please Wait'

/etc/dhcpd.conf file:

Perhaps I can troubleshoot this?? How would I go about doing so?

Thanks in advance!

Hey ;

No big deal.

I removed the DRBL installation and started from scratch. Probably not the recommended way of doing things, but I had a feeling that SE Linux may have been a hindrance for me, so I set it to permissive, rebooted and removed and reinstalled DRBL.

It is happy now.

Yes, if you want to use selinux, you have to make sure all the services related to drbl/clonezilla won't be blocked by selinux.
