[10:52] BlindBunny: well, I'm using IEC DHCP and I suppose this should actually work, if its a question of the vendor... [10:53] BlindBunny: and i had FAI earlier on etch as well, and I did't had these funny problems. [10:55] sts: is that "IEC" as in "ISC", or something i've never heard of? [10:55] uups :)) [10:55] ok :) so have you tried running tcpdump on the dhcp server? [10:56] well, it's not stuck forever anymore, it just takes about 5-10 minutes until it actually "accepts" the ip from the dhcp server. [10:56] mgoetze: yes. the dhcp server is replying to the requests. [10:57] hm, and it takes 5-10 mins to get through? maybe try another cable somewhere along the way... [10:57] mgoetze: i'm booting the whole machine over pxe. [10:57] mgoetze: so i'm doing one dhcp request already for the pxe boot. [10:58] mgoetze: and the first request is "normal"/fast ;-) [12:19] siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [12:21] my tip is to do some network sniffing to see what the server recv's [12:21] and sends [12:31] siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) joined #fai.

[13:21] The regexp explicitly allows only sd[a-t] [13:21] I was just wondering [13:21] hm, no idea [13:22] probably only mt can answer that :) [13:22] :) [13:23] I was thinking it was to not conflict with _really_ old dev systems, where /dev/sdX (where X>'t') means something else... but dunno [13:27] will my email to fai@informatik.uni-koeln.de reach mt? or shall I try to email him directly? [13:28] if that reaches anyone, it'll reach MrFai, who did not write setup-storage ;) [13:29] h01ger (~holger@socket.layer-acht.org) left #fai (have fun!). [13:29] ok, I'll mail Michael directly.
