919996 - no longer able to kickstart some machines in scl1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

I attempted to kickstart the hosts in 918112 and discovered that kickstart no longer appears to be working (at least for those hosts). It loads PXELINUX 5.00 and then gives the error:

"Failed to load ldlinux.c32"

Did something break when the machines got patched?

Seems admin1a.infra.scl1 picked up a new package of syslinux.

Reverted manually with;
sudo yum -y remove syslinux &&  sudo yum -y install syslinux-4.02 && sudo cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/ && sudo cp /usr/share/syslinux/menu.c32 /tftpboot/

You should be able to kickstart now but will leave open until fixed in puppet.

Should be 110% permanently fixed (until a 6.* version comes out...).
