Bug#118019: boot-floppies: Network configuration with DHCP doesn't recognize a failure.
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 20011102
Severity: important
When configuring the network using DHCP it happened
to me that dbootstap didn't recognized a failure
in the DHCP discovery process and allowed
me to proceed to the downloading of a base system
from the network... i tried at least twice, then
i switched the network card module to rtl8139, as it seems the other
one (8139too) didn't handled my card correctly.
The DHCP discover was successful this time, but the system
was unable to perform DNS resolution.
I checked /etc/resolv.conf and i noticed it was a symbolic
link to /target/etc/resolv.conf which turned to be a symlink to itself.
I removed it and reconfigured the network. everything worked fine this time.
