Can you pxe boot something like DSL and get the proper network info? Also does the kernel have autoconfig turned on? It took me about six different kernel builds before I got my 2.4 kernels working. Also a initrd that has busybox in it with an escape as init=/bin/sh, helps in troubleshooting these problems. I had to build my own initrd for nfs root boot. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
