Hi again, thanks all for the hints, made a mistake, trying to relay on the kernels I found on the debian site and the one included in the iso image, After downloading the current kernel sources and compiling them I have a kernel now which at least is now producing bootp requests after loading.
The ones I've used so far didn't even do that, so playing I messed up my server config as well. Need to fix that first .... .... now where is that bloody dhcp manual .... Thanks again Martin
