Hello, I have some problems when doing a network install with the kernel and initrd in the netboot.tar.gz package in 20110106+squeeze3.
I have a local dhcp-server with an address pool configured. After I have booted into the installer and selected configure with dhcp the lease file on the server looks like this: lease 10.0.0.11 { starts 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42; ends 3 2011/09/28 11:36:42; cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42; binding state active; next binding state free; hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22; uid "\001\0000H\371[\""; } When the install is done and I have rebooted the server the dhcp-server gives the newly installed server another address then during the install, so know it looks like this: lease 10.0.0.11 { starts 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42; ends 3 2011/09/28 11:36:42; cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:36:42; binding state active; next binding state free; hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22; uid "\001\0000H\371[\""; } lease 10.0.0.12 { starts 3 2011/09/28 07:43:50; ends 3 2011/09/28 11:43:50; cltt 3 2011/09/28 07:43:50; binding state active; next binding state free; hardware ethernet 00:30:48:f9:5b:22; } I assume the reason is that the dhcp-client on the installed server does not send uid (is this the client-identifier?) I have tried setting the keyword duplicates to both allow and deny without any success. From what I can tell duplicates makes the dhcp-server ignore the UID, which is exactly what I want. Am I using it wrong or is there some bug here? This used to work fine with lenny so assume something has changed with the dhcp-client in the installer for squeeze. If I can not fix the dhcp-server to behave correctly can I modify the initrd to make the dhcp-client in the installer to not send an UID?
