| |
I'm trying to boot a laptop with root fs over NFS. We have a system that works well for desktop systems, but I'd also like for it to work with pcmcia ethernet card. So I'm using a 2.4.9-ac8 kernel, with the necessary PCMCIA stuff built into the kernel as well as the DHCP and BOOTP support under kernel(CONFIG_IP_PNP).
The problem is that the kernel tries the DHCP stuff first, loading the PCMCIA stuff second, one of two steps after the DHCP step. And since there's no ethernet detected at the time to send out the DHCP request, it fails.
Is there any way to change the loading order around so that it would load the PCMCIA stuff first, then the DHCP stuff?
