[K12OSN] NOT critical - eth0 & eth1

[John Montoya]

Hi there...


When I had them swapped... I did tail the messages - nothing there.
And since it's working now or was in the original configuration too,
the TFTP daemon was up too.
Just figure there is something else - in some other config file (maybe
related to TFTP) that is pointing to a particular ethernet card.


But thanks for the suggestions.

I'd check /var/log/messages for anything regarding TFTP.  Also, make 
sure that the TFTP daemon is indeed starting up, like this.

  ps ax | grep tftp


--TP
