No one else has run into this problem, apparently. I still have not solved it, but I have also not given up hope. Possible solutions pointed to were I might have an invalid sysidcfg file (although I stated that I did a manual install, which doesn't use a sysidcfg file), that there was a dhcp server interfering (a possibility, but it wasn't the case), and just create a finish script. I guess in the short term, I'll create the finish script, but I really wanted a full solution. -- Luke A. Kanies | We either are networking, or we areNT networking...

When the machine reboots, its name is set to "unknown", there are no hostname.* or nodename files, and the hosts file only has the loopback address in it. The ethernet interface is being recognized and used, and the hostname is used (I tested this using scripts), it just looks like none of the info is written to the files. If I boot using CD and install, I don't have the same problem. I have tried doing a manual install using jumpstart (boot net) and an automated install (boot net - install), and both fail, so I know it is not a problem with my custom config. Also, when doing the automated install, the files listed above are missing immediately after the OS is installed, so I know the problem isn't that the files are created and then somehow deleted during booting or something weird like that. I have tested this on an ultra 5 and two AC200s, with the exact same results. Once the machine is up, I can easily log in and set it all, but I don't really consider that the best solution. Anyone have any ideas? I need to get a bunch of these AC200s built. I'll summarize. -- Luke A.
