<html><body>Well, I finally dug up the work around for this problem. <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2007-April/msg00260.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2007-April/msg00260.html</a> It looks as if the problem is in the newer kernel. Thanks Paul for your post regarding this problem. Other than loading the older kernel, has there been a fix? gluing hair back on, Ron Ronald R.

I am using HP T5525 clients in a new lab. I have loaded K12ltsp6 and K12ltsp7 B.5 with the same results. The client grabs an IP address from the server and begins to boot, at the point where it displays the NIC information, it times out and then gets "DHCPD Error" and hangs. I use wireshark to capture packets and see what is happening. The server keeps handing out DHCP offer packets, but the client never seems to pick them up and keeps sending DHCP request. I have seen several similar issues in Google searches without seeing any real fixes for this problem. Has anyone gotten this to work???? Quickly becoming bald, Ron Ronald R.
