Hello Mandrake gods, Here the problem. I am attempting to install Mandrake 8.2 on an HP Kayak XM600. Everything works fine except for one crucial piece. I am unable to get the interfaces to come up (eth0 and eth1). eth0 is an 3Com 3C905C TX and eth1 is a Linksys LNE100 TX. I have used both of these cards in other systems so I know they work. I have installed Mandrake 7.1 on other systems with these same models of cards and never had a problem. The cards are detected correctly and I set them to use DHCP. The only log entries that I have found that pertain to the problem simply say that eth0, and/or eth1, failed to receive a valid response from a dhcp server. However, I can plug another system into the same interface I am using on my router for the system I am having problems with and I can get a dhcp address no problem. I am at wits end with this system. I have tried Mandrake 7.1 and 8.2. All to no avail. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Also, I have set dhcpcd to run at boot.
/pulling hair out now Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Duke
