hello,

I installed an ASUS A7N266 with an Athlon XP 1700+ as a
diskless machine booting pxeboot over a 3Com 3c905C-TX
connecting to a isc-dhcp3-3.0.1.r6 server installed
from ports.
With a 128M DIMM installed, everything works fine:

 bootpc_init: wired to interface 'xl0'
 Sending DHCP Discover packet from interface xl0 (00:04:76:a3:3b:e4)
 Received DHCP Offer packet on xl0 from 192.168.0.1 (accepted) (no root path)
 Sending DHCP Request packet from interface xl0 (00:04:76:a3:3b:e4)
 Received DHCP Ack packet on xl0 from 192.168.0.1 (accepted) (got root path)

When I replace the 128M DIMM by a 512M one, I get:

 bootpc_init: wired to interface 'xl0'
 Sending DHCP Discover packet from interface xl0 (00:04:76:a3:3b:e4)
 DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255

Does anyone have a clue where this might come from?

Thanx a lot in advance.

Arno
