2.2.18pre21 - IP kernel level autoconfiguration
Quoted 7 lines
It seem somewhere between 2.2.17 and the current 2.2.18 kernel, IP kernel level autoconfiguration has been broken. Upon kernel loading the Ethernet card is detected and loaded properly, but the bootp code never seems to be executed and mounting the root partion via NFS then fails from lack of IP configuration.
I haven't had any luck tracing down the root of this problem. Anyone else experience this problem or have a patch to fix it?
Hi!
I've the same behavior here:
server kernel : 2.2.17
dhcpd : 2.0b1pl29
client kernel : 2.2.18-21
client cmdline: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/foo/bar ip=bootp
After some quick tests seem that if you want bootp you _need_ to compile the client's kernel with _only_ bootp, if you have also dhcp, it doesn't work :(
Dhcp into kernel is COOL and I hope that someone is porting on 2.4 ;), doesn't seem that hard
hope this help,
luca
