Am connected via ttyS0 over null-modem cable. Both tulips have known good cat5e cable connections to a 100baseTx-FD switch/router serving DHCP leases. Issued "BOot ALTernate" under BCH, issued 'y' to interact with the IPL, and accepted the following defaults: 0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk ramdisk_size=16384 init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0 TERM=vt102 This gave the following warnings and errors: Warning: kernel name doesn't end with 32 or 64 -- Guessing... Choosing 32-bit kernelELF32 executable [SNIP] RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 316k freed Setting up filesystem, please wait ... attempt to access beyond end of device ram0: rw=0, want=40650, limit=32768 [SNIP] Based on these messages, tried the following kernel command line: 0/vmlinux32 root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk ramdisk_size=32768 init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0 TERM=vt102 This got past the initial boot stage, and allowed the install to continue. During the install, the onboard and addin tulips detect fine, but neither one will get a DHCP lease during the "Configuring the network with DHCP" phase. Chose "Configure network manually" and entered values appropriate for the network. Still no connectivity on either net interface. Aborted the intial install at the "Configure apt" stage and edited /etc/network/ interfaces as follows: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp At this point, "ifup eth0" gives a valid DHCP lease on the addin NIC, while a timeout is received for eth1 (onboard). "exit" at the prompt allows the install to continue. After a reboot following the initial install, the add-in tulip becomes eth1 instead of eth0. Have tried known good straight-through and crossover cables, forced "COnfigure LanConfig 100/Full_dx" in BCH, and issued "mii-tool -R -F 100baseTx-FD" at the prompt. None of these allow the builtin tulip to detect physical media at any time. Is this the discover1 bug, or something else entirely?
