Hello,
Is the kernel IP-Autoconfiguration broken in the late 2.2.x serie? I have three machines in a tiny network:
"dharma": Linux 2.2.5, ISC DHCP "cutter": windows 95 "cryo": Linux 2.2.7 (not the latest, but the most stable ;o)
dharma is serving dhcp-/bootprequest on this network. cryo is set to obtain it's ip-config at boot-time. Whenever cryo boots, it sends bootp-requests. But the requests eventually times out. Looking in the logs on dharma, I see:
Jul 2 23:25:57 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:a0:24:02:14:87 via eth0 Jul 2 23:25:57 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 10.1.1.2 to cryo (00:a0:24:02:14:87) via eth0 Jul 2 23:26:02 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:a0:24:02:14:87 via eth0 Jul 2 23:26:02 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 10.1.1.2 to cryo (00:a0:24:02:14:87) via eth0 Jul 2 23:26:10 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:a0:24:02:14:87 via eth0 Jul 2 23:26:10 dharma dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 10.1.1.2 to cryo (00:a0:24:02:14:87) via eth0
... and so forth (10 times total - matches the number of times as set in ipconfig.c).
The request arrives on dharma and is ack'ed ... so what is wrong?
(dhcp-request from cutter (win95) is ack'ed as well (on both machines):
Jul 2 23:33:36 dharma dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:20:af:0f:4e:95 via eth0 Jul 2 23:33:36 dharma dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.1.1.3 to 00:20:af:0f:4e:95 via eth 0 Jul 2 23:33:36 dharma dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.1.1.3 from 00:20:af:0f:4e:95 vi a eth0 Jul 2 23:33:36 dharma dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.1.1.3 to 00:20:af:0f:4e:95 via eth0)
I added this line to /etc/lilo.conf:
append = "ip=::::::bootp"
to force it to use the server-defaults. (I _ran_ lilo afterwards ;o)
I have also tried without the 'append' line, but with no luck.
So my question is simple: what am I doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Brian
