I was I have lately experienced such things on 2 different sparc64 machines running sid (Ultra 1 and Ultra 5). pump -i (#321990) and dhcp3-client (#321993) seem both to be broken currently but dhcp-client works fine for me. > able to establish a connection after the boot sequence began once by > typing 'dhclient eth0' at a prompt, but after another shutdown and restart > I find that hasn't worked after many tries. Even stranger (no bug report as the cause is yet unclear to me), when upgrading the Ultra 1 from kernel-2.4.26-sparc64 to kernel-2.4.27-2-sparc64 the eth0 failed to be detected (by the kernel?) whereas the Ultra 5 (different hardware) works flawlessly with kernel-2.4.27-2-sparc64 (it was natively installed with sarge installer at the beginning and then upgraded to sid).
