Did you have the same problem with the 6.1 release? Please reopen this bug if you are still having problems. this bug seems to have gone away with rh6.1. |
using both the rh6.0 and rh6.0-updates net install diskette, when I try and select DHCP to configure my ip address, I always get an error back of "no dhcp address required" when I try and do an install at work. at home, it works just fine. The difference between the two locations is that at home, the dhcp server responds immediately, whereas at work, it takes 2-3 seconds to respond, since the dhcp server is off in another building with dhcp_relay servers in the middle. Since the error "No DHCP reply received" comes back in a FRACTION of a second, my suspicion is that it waits for too short of a time. sniffing the network, I do indeed see two bootp packets go out, and several seconds two more come back, but well after the "No DHCP reply received" error. Please make the delay longer?? Here's my sniff log: 0066: len 622 time 16:32:05.266205 ether: src 0:20:af:93:ba:76/3COM dst ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ip: src 0.0.0.0 dst 255.255.255.255 udp: sport 68 (bootpc) dport 67 (bootp) bootp: op REQUEST xid 0x4aadb9a4 ciaddr 0.0.0.0 yiaddr 0.0.0.0 siaddr 0.0.0.0 giaddr 0.0.0.0 chaddr 0:20:af:93:ba:76 sname file magic 16694854 0067: len 622 time 16:32:05.267019 ether: src 0:20:af:93:ba:76/3COM dst ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ip: src 0.0.0.0 dst 255.255.255.255 udp: sport 68 (bootpc) dport 67 (bootp) bootp: op REQUEST xid 0x4aadb9a4 ciaddr 0.0.0.0 yiaddr 0.0.0.0 siaddr 0.0.0.0 giaddr 0.0.0.0 chaddr 0:20:af:93:ba:76 sname file magic 16694854 0026: len 594 time 16:32:11.565100 ether: src 0:e0:b0:8a:b6:a8 dst 0:20:af:93:ba:76/3COM ip: src 192.132.200.11 dst dhcp-b43-51-223.engr.sgi. udp: sport 67 (bootp) dport 68 (bootpc) bootp: op REPLY xid 0x4aadb9a4 ciaddr 0.0.0.0 yiaddr dhcp-b43-51-223.engr siaddr 0.0.0.0 giaddr b43-11-cisco5-51.eng chaddr 0:20:af:93:ba:76 sname frick file magic 16694854
