[nafidyo...@gmail.com]

is that a packer issue or esxi issue

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

hello

that won't do what you want to do.

I suggest please have a working install using dhcp

then move to use floppy to pass the kickstart otherwise you wont be able to download the kickstart file,

and the ip= netmask= gateway= on the boot command will do nothing, those are not valid boot commands for anaconda,

so is not packer issue is a rh configuration misinformation.

Alvaro.

On top of what Alvaro mentioned.. I will recommend to check the firewall rules you have in the ESXi.. usually the firewall is enabled by default so either you disable this or put in place a rule to allow traffic from wherever you are deploying your VM to the ESXi 

[nafidyo...@gmail.com]

helo every one i hope you re doing very good 

i have set a dhcp server in my network and the error change to that in log.

hello

i think the best is you find and copy a project that work and then you update to what your need.

the log doesn't say much, and not sure what is the status of your project today.

if you want help, provide as much as you can

create a github repo, put your template, a diagram of the network that include your pc esxi host where the dhcp is etc

and a description of what you want to do.

if I read your last message i don't know how to help
