dhcp problems (Re: boot floppies 2.2.7 available for testing)
Gave the 2.2.7 images a try on a netfinity 5500 m10 (same one I've been
using).
I haven't been able to get an install working with dhcp. It either hangs
after downloading the drivers image from the network, or if I load the os
by floppy, it hangs after downloading the base system. Manually giving
the box an ip address avoid these problems. Checking the debug log
(alt-f3), the last messages are from pump. Nothing from the install
program is shown after pump runs.
I can do a bit more testing early this weekend. Otherwise, I'm out of
town for next week.
