I have the same problem, but for some reason mail sent to LK just dissappears into a black hole (I receive it fine...)
Could you foward this mail to LK for me?
NOTE: It fails to work in exactly the same way on 2.4.prerelease.
I am able to successfully net-boot (using nfs-root, kernel-bootp, etc) kernel 2.2.17 with the config file attached. However, if I use that same config file on 2.2.18, the resulting kernel will not net-boot. The config file is attached.
The problem seems to be that the kernel never asks for the address via dhcp (or bootp) after the boot-rom has downloaded and started the kernel. I do see the kernel discover the ethernet interfaces, but it dies shortly there-after.
Here is the config:
