hi, Tried the boot from netinst sequence again to check, and checked the messages in another virtula termal (term 4) for log...
dhclient log is as follows - There are 6 DHCPDISCOVER lines and 6 DHCPOFFER lines .... there... it seems to bind an ip at the end but on term 1, the GUI says that "DHCP autoconf failed or server slow...." This time I retried and it seems to continue smoothly. Can the default wait or attempts for DHCP response be increased so that this loop can be avoided ? Seems this is not a bug afterall. Pl. try to increase the wait time. I now having installed debian without the dhcp conf. have to manually edit the dhcpconf file which is a hassle :) regards, Prasad Gadgil ===== प्रसाद गाडगीळ, लार्सन अँड टुब्रो इंफोटेक लिमिटेड If you can't see above line properly, your computer is not enabled for reading indic text Pl. install indic locale on your terminal (instructions at http://www.bhashaindia.com/knowledge/indiccollation/oslevel.aspx) To input text in indian languages, install IME 1 from http://www.bhashaindia.com/doc/IndicIME1v5.zip ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
