x in this case is 13.
As I type this my DHCP server is saying
ov 5 20:58:12 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:12 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:15 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:15 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:19 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:19 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:28 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:28 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:42 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:58:42 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:59:06 dugite dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0 Nov 5 20:59:06 dugite dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:c0:26:2d:be:12 via eth0
and the poor sod at the other end is setting half-duplex .... sending DHCP and RARP requests .... Timed out! IPConfig: Retrying forever (NFS root).
Here's how I'm booting: root@numbat /root]# cat /misc/fd1/syslinux.cfg default linux prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux kernel vmlinuz append root=/dev/hda5 [root@numbat /root]
I'm running dhcp-2.0pl5-4 on RHL 7.1.
If I override the boot prompt: ip=bootp then it works.
Now I can see that I misunderstood the documentation (which, btw, could use a minor touch-up to mention DHCP), but
but
According to the source code, ip=dchp is legit. However, it causes lots of messages on the server just like above., and the client's looping just like before.
Two things I'd like to see: 1) A message to the user if an invalid value's given 2) DHCP actually work. BOOTP seems fine, as far as BOOTP goes.
I have RARP genned, but there's not actually anything to talk to.
