question on drive

hi
Sorry for bothering you! But would you please give me a hand.When I insert a Intel Pro/100s server Adapter into the PCI slot on Lite5200(motorola MPC5200 development kit) and start the kernel,the kernel run into a dead lock. The reports are as follows:
.
.
.
IP-Config: Retrying forever (NFS root)...
eth1: config: auto-negotiation on, 100FDX, 100HDX, 10FDX, 10HDX.
eth1: Waiting for the link to be up...
eth1: status: link up, 100 Mbps Full Duplex, auto-negotiation complete.
e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full duplex
Sending DHCP requests ...... timed out!
Please tell me how can I handle it! Thanks in advance!
Best Regards

I don't think this has to do with u-boot :) I think you should send this to the correct mailing list.

Maybe your board configuration of the kernel is not quite correct and/or some interrupt lines are wongly addressed.

$ find . -name '*.c' | xargs grep Sending\ DHCP
And start debugging/instrumenting from there.

thanks for pointing out.

No, you are wrong here. It seems the kernel is working perfectly fine.

Always try simple things first! Is there a DHCP server running to answer the DHCP requests from the target? Did you run a network sniffer and actually see the DHCP reply packets on the wire?

Hm, I assumed this was already checked since it the easiest to do :) I know, 'assuming' is bad...

This would be (on the server)

# tail -f /var/log/syslog
to check the DCHP packages arriving at the server and the replies being sent.
