supermicro ... etherboot

[Denis Pilon]

Got linuxbios coming up on a x5dpe-g2, but it will not grab an IP.  It
just sits there looking for dhcp server.

Looking at the dhcp logs, the etherboot never sends the DHCPACK.

What do I do ?

FYI:
using etherboot 5.1.7

Either it is a linuxbios issue in which case the x5dpe-g2 is not
a completed port, so you should debug the port.

Or this is an etherboot issue in which case this is the wrong list.

run tcpdump. Follow the packet traffic that way.
