Hi, /sbin/ifup was modified at the bootp section, to not enter the netmask, etc because it caused 2.2 kernels to die. Well, machines that are set to get their network settings using bootp (specifically used /sbin/bootpc) do not work because bootpc and kernel 2.2 fail to interoperate. I know that this is not specifically a redhat issue, but am very interested to see if you can suggest anything. (I am building a large 128 node Beowulf using RedHat and it would be really handy if this worked!). Thanks, Duncan.
duncan -- we now supply pump, a dhcp/bootp client daemon, to handle these things with 2.2 kernels. See RawHide or the Red Hat Starbuck beta.
