Re: Kickstart install over gige interface on HP zx6000

I just took a look at the debug output on vt3 and it seems the card is set
to 1000 FD automatically, so that is ok.

Is is possible that DHCP could be timing out before the card can begin to
communicate on the network??  I don't see any DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPOFFER
on the dhcp server, so its requests never even make it there.  Very odd!
Is there a way to extend the timeout on how long it tries to grab an ip
address??
