that sounds exactly like a problem i had with 7.2 and 7.3. Did you try enabling port-fast on the ethernet port of the switch that the client is connected to? -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of knights-of-ni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 9:36 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Hassles with 8.0 - renegotiating the DHCP?!? Has anyone seen problems in the Psyche release with kickstart whereupon the client boots up, D/L's the kernel, and initrd, runs the first stage right up to /sbin/loader, starts Anaconda, and then the client stops with: Pump reports: no DHCP response received While the DHCP server reports four DHCPDISCOVER / DHCPOFFER cycles before it then fails to get the ks.cfg file? This same exact system kickstarts flawlessly under 7.3, same hub, same server, etc., and yet now with 8.0, it seems the kernel is doing something different. But what?
