Hi,
I'm trying to make a network installation using the latest cooker
bootnet.img (from ftp.sunet.se).
Dhcp/bootp just refuses to work.
The nic is a 3com 3c905b-mba , mobo is a intel bx2. Dhcp is working
correctly on the same machine when under normal operations and
redhat/lorax bootnet is figuring out the dhcp.
This is _really_ confusing, since I never had any problems before with
3c905 cards, thank you Donald Becker.
When doing a tcpdump at the same time as the installations runs I can
clearly see that the clients sends out dhcpdiscovers and gets a
dhcpoffer from the server but no dhcpack in reply. _Maybe_ there is a
bit to long delay between when the client is doing the dhcp request and
the discover/offer packets show up in tcpdump.
Any suggestions would be welcome, I have some 25 machines with the
905-mba nic waiting to be kickstarted ....
/N
