Hi all,
Bug confirmed here. vmlinuz/initramfs from linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 fails
to get an IP address in ipconfig during network boot. 2.6.38-1-486 (from
the GParted live CD) doesn't have this problem.
I can see the DHCPACK packets being sent from the DHCP server to the
client, but apparently it doesn't receive or understand them. It's a bit
early in the boot process to run a packet sniffer on the client. Also I
don't have physical access to this machine (it's 3000 miles away) and
every attempt ends in a hang after "/inet:...can't open
'/tmp/net-*.conf'", requiring me to request a manual reboot.
Cheers, Chris.
