The boot succeeds (and appears to bring initialize the network adapter properly - it autonegotiates a 100Mbps link speed), but the dhcp client is never able to get an address. However, applying the rc2-mm1 patch series up to just before: add-64-bit-capability-support-to-the-kernel.patch results in a working kernel. Applying just this patch causes the failure. To be sure, I also tried applying the above patch plus the following ones: add-64-bit-capability-support-to-the-kernel-checkpatch-fixes.patch add-64-bit-capability-support-to-the-kernel-fix.patch add-64-bit-capability-support-to-the-kernel-fix-fix.patch remove-unnecessary-include-from-include-linux-capabilityh.patch but the problem still occurs even with all of these. As to versions, I'm running Kubuntu gutsy, so I have the default: dhcp3-client 3.0.5-3ubuntu4 libcap1 1:1.10-14build1 packages installed. Let me know if you need any other information, or if you have a patch you would like tested. -- Kevin Winchester - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
