I have just tried to upgrade my kickstart installation to accommodate the new beta release of Redhat. Everything seems to go all right until I get to the loader stage (/sbin/loader). Here, I find the client re-requesting a DHCP lease from the kickstart / DHCP server, and failing. Sniffing the network, and looking at the DHCP logs. I find the client requesting a lease, and the server ack-ing back with the correct IP... repeatedly until the client gives up. It claims that gets no response from the DHCP server. dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:30:1b:33:03:1a via eth1 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.30.100 to 00:30:1b:33:03:1a via eth1 I am guessing that amongst all of the changes from 7.3 to the Aug. beta, there are some changes in the 8139too driver, and that this may be the hassle, but I just don't know. Any suggestions on how to try to figure this out? David Humphrey Director Long Wharf IT (781) 646-1843 ace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
