I have been continuing to troubleshoot this problem and have narrowed it down. I
believe it relates to APIC, as booting the network.img with 'linux noapic' allows the
DHCP process to continue.
When doing this however, the console coninues to receive an APIC error coninuously
throughout the install process.
I am sorry that I am not a programmer and cannot help deal at a code level with this
issue. I know problems with APIC go back to 9.0, so I am sure you want to know about
this. Let me know about an dpecific further testing you might like done.
My hardware (this is a testing rig, so the hardware looks a little goofy):
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra
VIA KT400 northbrigde
8235 SOuthbridge
VIA Rhine onboard nic
C-media 8738 onboard 5.1 sound
256 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
750-MHz AMD Duron
16 MB PCI VooDoo3
2-2.1 GB ATA33 harddrives
300w power supply
floppy, cdrom, ps/2 mouse and keyboard

description:
I did an expert install of Mandrake-Linux 9.0 beta3 after downloading the
iso's, verifying the md5sums, and burning them on 700MB CD-RW's.
When the system tries to bring up eth0 on bootup, it complains that it can't
find the information for it and asks me to check that the link, cable, etc. are
OK. I have a computer running OpenBSD as a firewall between my ISP and my
internal network. My internal network is 192.168.0.X. OpenBSD is running a
DHCP server and has worked properly in the past with other Linux distros (LM
9.0beta2 as of yesterday). If I then manually configure the NIC to a static
IP, manually fill in the DNS nameservers of my IP provider, add the default
route to my firewall which is the gateway, networking works to the extent that
I am able to run Konqueror and browse the internet. I haven't tried anything
else (e.g. samba). As I say, four days before, I had installed LM beta2 and
this functionality worked fine.
