Hi Guys,
I'm getting their with my Dracut setup however I'm having a weird DHCP issue.
I can't get DHCP 4.0.1 or 4.1.0 working with Gentoo and Dracut 007.
I've downgraded to DHCP 3.1.2p1 and removed the -4 flag from the
Dracut scripts.
The PXEBoot line is:
APPEND bootdev=eth1 ip:eth0:off ip=eth1:dhcp
root=10.197.170.5:/vol/filerboot/linux/images/live-mon-test:fg,timeo=600,retrans=2,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,nfsvers=3,nointr,actimeo=3600,noacl,rw,tcp,sec=sys initrd=initrd-2.6.34-gentoo-r1-dracut
rw
While the server boots and the interfaces initializers I see:
Sending DHCP requets .....timed out
The following happens 2-3 times
The DHCP server logs report..
Attempt 1:
dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 201.0.0.0 (180.0.0.0) from 00:19:b9:eb:3d:4e

Attempts 2:

Just before the pivot DHCP runs again and all works. The DHCP server reports:
dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:19:b9:eb:3d:50 via eth1
dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.197.170.30 to 00:19:b9:eb:3d:50 via eth1
dhcpd: Dynamic and static leases present for 10.197.170.30.
dhcpd: Remove host declaration san.n15-pizza1-3 or remove 10.197.170.30
dhcpd: from the dynamic address pool for 10.197.170.0/24
dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.197.170.30 (10.197.170.42) from
00:19:b9:eb:3d:50 via eth1
dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.197.170.30 to 00:19:b9:eb:3d:50 via eth1
Gentoo boots and all seems to be ok except for a weird issue where the
resolv.conf is not updated correctly.
Any ideas on what the causing the initial DHCP timeouts? It makes the
boot process take a lot longer!
Thanks
