Hi all and thanks so much for Unattended! I'm a longtime UNIX admin
and recently started a new admin job at a mainly Windows shop...talk
about a fish out of water. Anyway deploying Unattended has impressed
my employer and made me look good :)
Now about this DHCP problem, I have seen this exact same behavior Ryan
reports, in my case on old Dell laptops using pcmcia cards for
networking.
The solution I found is...after you get dumped to the shell prompt
simply execute
/etc/master
This starts up the unattended config script again getting you a DHCP lease
and continuing on as normal.
I don't understand why running master a second time works but it does.
Regards,
Veedar

Hi everyone,
I have two computers a Dell Optiplex GX260 and an Optiplex GX270. Both of
these
computers have integrated network cards, and neither seems to be able to get
an IP
address. When I boot from the Linux CD, the network card gets detected
correctly, but
never gets an IP. The debug message will just display until it dumps to the
shell. These
computers both work fine with windows installed and get IP addresses without
a problem. I am not sure why this is happening. Every other computer I have
tried the boot disk on has worked correctly.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
