Hello, Just been looking into the problem more. My Indy and Sparc boxes netboot fine, so server seems ok My I2 boots an old 2.4.0-test9 kernel fine But try to boot a new kernel on the I2, get this: >> bootp():/vmlinux Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.13 (from server ) Obtaining /vmlinux from server / [and stops there] I thought this was the kernel, but I just tried Flo's (lolo) working I2 kernel and it does exactly the same!! Server is showing this: Dec 17 01:54:48 slinky dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 08:00:69:08:9d:ec via eth0 Dec 17 01:54:48 slinky dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 192.168.0.13 to dale (08:00:69:08:9d:ec) via eth0 Dec 17 01:54:48 slinky in.tftpd[5858]: connect from dale.ichilton.local Dec 17 01:54:48 slinky tftpd[5859]: tftpd: trying to get file: vmlinux-dale Dec 17 01:54:48 slinky tftpd[5859]: tftpd: serving file from /export/tftpboot [root@slinky:/export/tftpboot]# ls -la vmlinux-dale lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec 17 01:51 vmlinux-dale -> mips/vmlinux-2.4.16 End of tcpdump is: 02:01:09.797242 dale.ichilton.local.15677 > slinky.ichilton.local.2052: udp 6 02:01:09.797289 slinky.ichilton.local.2052 > dale.ichilton.local.15677: udp 516 02:01:09.798218 dale.ichilton.local.15677 > slinky.ichilton.local.2052: udp 6 02:01:09.798265 slinky.ichilton.local.2052 > dale.ichilton.local.15677: udp 516 02:01:09.799190 dale.ichilton.local.15677 > slinky.ichilton.local.2052: udp 6 02:01:09.799235 slinky.ichilton.local.2052 > dale.ichilton.local.15677: udp 516 02:01:09.800168 dale.ichilton.local.15677 > slinky.ichilton.local.2052: udp 6 02:01:09.800213 slinky.ichilton.local.2052 > dale.ichilton.local.15677: udp 516 02:01:09.860624 dale.ichilton.local.15677 > slinky.ichilton.local.2052: udp 6 02:01:11.574420 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local 02:01:12.574416 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local 02:01:13.574414 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local 02:01:14.574427 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local 02:01:15.574423 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local 02:01:16.574414 arp who-has dale.ichilton.local tell slinky.ichilton.local Anyone any ideas?
