[En-Nut-Discussion] eboot problem

[Bernd Walter]

I need a firmware update function on a Charon II so I flashed the
precompiled eboot image together with the remaining software.

It starts fine with the application software:
Nov  4 13:13:47 cicely6 dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.1.1.243 from 00:0a:59:03:00:87 via de0
Nov  4 13:13:47 cicely6 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.1.1.243 to 00:0a:59:03:00:87 via de0

Now I trigger an update via HTTP.
eboot then asks for an IP:

Nov  4 13:14:27 cicely6 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:06:98:00:00:00 via de0
Nov  4 13:14:27 cicely6 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.1.1.2 to 00:06:98:00:00:00 via de0

Finally it gives up and falls back to the already existing application
software:

Nov  4 13:14:31 cicely6 dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.1.1.243 to 00:0a:59:03:00:87 via de0

It seems that the system doesn't like the DHCPOFFER packet.
But whats wrong with it - I netboot lots of machines with that DHCP
server.

My dhcpd.conf contains:
    host nutdate {
      hardware ethernet 00:06:98:00:00:00;
      fixed-address 10.1.1.2;
      filename "nutdate";
      next-server 10.1.1.14;
    }

Additional there are the usual global options set, such as DNS, ...
