Jumpstart Issues

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with jumpstart that I haven't seen before. After booting the server and selecting F12 to boot it from the network it finds the jumpstart profile that has been set up for it and proceeds with the build until I get the following error:

It crashes out at this point. I've built other boxes using this method with no issues, any idea of what could be causing this?

Is this affecting all jumpstart clients or just this one server? If it's just this 1 client please tell me what model server you're using.

Indeed it is just the one serrver which is a SunFire X4140 model.

have you successfully installed an os on another x4140 via jumpstart before? also, what rule are you definitely in your "rule" file for x4140?

If possible please post the results of a verbose install:

boot net -v install
