Description

Observation

I found scooter-1.qe.prg2.suse.org and bare-metal6.qe.prg2.suse.org can not boot from ipxe because no media present. Actually media is present, for example:

The boot process reports:

Steps to reproduce

  • set ipxe boot script for scooter-1 and bare-metal6
  • boot from ipxe

Suggestions

  • Recent network changes
  • Recent worker changes
  • Manually check if the system boots if you select a boot device. If you really find that no network connection can be established then please report a ticket to IT as we don't have access to the switch to check if the port is disabled or if the cable connection is faulty or incomplete

I checked BIOS of scooter-1. All NICs are disconnected:

And after booting into installed OS, all NICs are down:
