I’ve stoodup KVM+MAAS on a single server with a network bridge and MAAS providing DHCP. When I go to provision a server, PXE starts but but I get a Connection Reset error.
yeah, this same error used to drive me nuts. in my case, it was always my misconfiguration, but that doesn’t mean you made a mistake. here are a couple of ideas to try:
walk thru this blog entry and check your KVM setup. it’s probably okay, but worth a quick check.
did you remember to turn off DHCP on the KVM side?
is ufw running?
you probably already caught all these things; if so, just bounce back and we’ll try to go from there.
Hey there. So it turned out the issue was I had a 2.5GB ethernet card on my motherboard that was causing all sorts of issues on my gigabit network. I bought a $15 gigabit PCI ethernet card and voiala!
i’m laughing, but only out of recognition. sometimes lower tech does the job, i say, as i work smoothly with my $6 wired mouse that replaced my $300 trackball, that made tea and toast but had a scroll wheel that threw every driver for a loop.
