[Planetlab-users] Trouble installing Planet-lab nodes on DELL Power Edge 860

[Ying Zhu]

Hi,
  We have been trying to set up two planet-lab nodes (DELL Power edge
860).  While the two machines run Ubuntu fine, the planetlab
installation CD's fail to install.  During the installation we have
spotted an error message of: curl couldn't resolve host
"boot.planet-lab.org", while attempting to retrieve some configuration
script.  The symptom is that the installation hangs, and we cannot SSH
into the machine as site_admin.  In fact, the machines are not even
listening to port 22.

Any hints, comments or sharing of experiences will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
