Hi, sorry if this is too obvious, but could it be, that you missed to set the following kernel option: CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y Also setting bootarg to ip=auto will be a good idea. What made me suspicious from your logs is, that I do not see any output from the kernel sayin' something about received IP-addresses etc...
Correct me if I'm wrong (I use bootp and tftp here), but at least you should get something like this even for DHCP: Sending BOOTP requests .. OK IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 172.40.1.130, my address is 172.40.1.131 IP-Config: Complete: device=eth0, addr=192.168.1.131, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255, host=pappnase, domain=, nis-domain=(none), bootserver=192.168.1.130, rootserver=192.168.130, rootpath=/tftpboot/pappnase Hope this helps, Gerhard On Tuesday 18 May 2004 18:32, Brian Hawley wrote: > > We've been trying to get linux-2.5-ocp up and running on the ebony > > board.
