dhclient works well in kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc7.
Comment 1 Milan Kerslager 2007-02-18 20:58:04 UTC 
The same problem is here when trying network installation from devel tree
(2.6.20-1.2932). Older versions of the kernel works fine.
Comment 2 Milan Kerslager 2007-02-18 21:09:03 UTC 
I tryed to bot with pci=nomsi (see bug #222556) and with napic but it does not
work. It seems that the first DHCP works, but then DNS failed (to download
kickstart file) and second DHCP does not work at all too. Numeric IP address
does not helped too.

The kernel 2.6.20-1.2930 does not work too even tryed in working FC6 installation.

I have onboard nVidia MCP51 (forcedeth driver).
Comment 3 Milan Kerslager 2007-02-21 14:34:46 UTC 
Today kernel 2.6.20-1.2936.fc7 (2.6.20-git15) is still broken.
Comment 4 sangu 2007-02-27 14:16:52 UTC 
kernel-2.6.20-1.2949.fc7

- Fix up radeonfb backlight.
- Revert forcedeth changes so that it works again.
Comment 5 Milan Kerslager 2007-02-27 18:43:10 UTC 
Confirming that the latest kernel-2.6.20-1.2949.fc7 works. Thank you.
