hi,
i'm experiencing problems using dhcp-autoconfiguration with rtl8139-network cards and kernels >2.2.17. - it seems to be, that the kernel tries to mount the nfs-root-directory, before fetching the nodes-ip-address via dhcp (the logs from dhcpd indicate, that the node doesn't even try to fetch an ip-address).
<dmesg kernel="2.2.20-pre7" net="rtl8139"> ... rtl8139.c:v1.07 5/6/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe000, IRQ 15, 00:02:44:16:41:0b. Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up. ... </dmesg>

using the same kernel-config with kernels <= 2.2.17 works without any problems.

the kernel-config and dmesg output are available under http://www.iaeste.or.at/cc/8139/
any hints, what might be wrong?
