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?
