I met a strange case. I DLed a copy of RH6.1 and installed it on my PC. In installation, everything is ok even if talked to the DHCP server for hiring an IP. but after reboot, it hangup during BuildUp the network interface eth0! I skiped it and try to trace. I found it happened during executing 'pump'! It has no problem when I installed RH5.2/6.0 on it before. Now I had to use static IP address.
I've installed RedHat 6.1 today and I'm having the same problem ! The only solution I found so far is to use static IP. During install, BOOTP worked ok. How is it possible to trace the rc.d scripts ? Is there any debug setting ?
Same problems here.... Fresh Install using DHCP works just fine. First Boot hangs bringing up ETH0 But boot: linux -s and edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to read: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no Reboot...System comes up.... If I do ifup eth0 It hangs with on pump hitting 100% CPU after displaying: Determining IP information for eth0... Funny thing.... dhcpcd works just fine....I put that in another script . The bug is still with pump.... Thanks...
This should be fixed in pump-0.7.6, which is availalbe from ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/pump-0.7.6/. Please reopen this bug if it does not fix your problem.
