Yes, kerenl doesn't read mac address correctly on O2K. Some timeing issue in the driver as far as I can tell. None of my kernels ever could read it on O2K, even though it works just fine on O200. No you are wrong. Forcing MAC address works just fine. At least it does so here. You just have to force it to correct value (i.e. the one origin was using when it was sending bootp/tftp packets. Look at the logs at your boot server. -- Ilya A.
