Comments/Problems:
I cannot get a DHCP address with netinst for amd64. I've tried the
onboard card (via-rhine) and a separate PCI card (e100), and neither
will get a dhcp address. I've tried ISC DHCP and the DHCP server on
my DSL router. On my ISC DHCP, it sees DHCPDISCOVER messages from
the system, and it makes a DHCPOFFER, but no corresponding DHCPREQUEST.
If I put in a kubuntu 6.06.1 live CD, networking works great. The
system gets a DHCP address, and I'm able to use the live CD.
With the Kubuntu CD, the system accepts the offer and sends back a
DHCPREQUEST.
I thought it may have been an issue with the older kernel in the
stable netinst not supporting the via-rhine, but I also have the same
problem with the etch beta netinst image as well. And, I have the
same problem using an e100 card.
