I am unable to boot with dhcp. The error occurs when dhclient runs
(in preparation for the root pivot I assume). It bombs with this
error:
ERROR! No root-path!
The log on the server shows what looks to me like odd behaviour (see
log entries below). It looks like the client gets the correct ip
address the first time, when booting from the network card. However
when the client machine subsequently calls dhclient, it requests a
different ip address (172.16.249.254) and is refused. What's going on
here?
I'm running Red Hat 9.0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
