This isn't broken - it's by design - you have to specify the additional kernel parameters: nic=auto:eth0:dhcp So to boot the installer, bring up the network interface, request IP by DHCP and start SSHd: tftpboot 0x01100000 armedslack-current/uinitrd-kirkwood.img tftpboot 0x00800000 armedslack-current/uImage-kirkwood setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 nodhcp kbd=uk nic=auto:eth0:dhcp root=/dev/ram rw;bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000;reset I've added this into the INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
