All,
I have several Apple PPC64 Xserves I have been able to netboot with dhcp
version 3.0pl1-9a but with any new version I try dhcp won't even start
I get the following error in /var/log/messages (this was with dhcp
version 3.0.3-28)
Aug 16 14:21:52 localhost dhcpd: dhcpd startup failed
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 5: unknown option
dhcp.mac-version
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: option mac-version 0:
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: ^
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 6: unknown option
dhcp.mac-user-name
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: option mac-user-name "netboot"
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: ^
Aug 16 14:21:59 localhost dhcpd: Configuration file errors encountered
-- exiting
The relavent psrt of my /etc/dhcp.conf file is:
allow bootp;
ddns-update-style interim;
default-lease-time 30000000000;
option mac-version 0:0:0:0;
option mac-user-name "netboot";
subnet 192.168.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.200.172;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
filename "yhpc-ppc64.img";
next-server 192.168.200.172;
allow bootp;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.200.100 192.168.200.199;
}
I have also tried upgrading to dhcp 3.0.6, 3.1.0, and 4.0.0 without any
success. I have looking through all the man pages for all version and
the change log neither one says anything about needing to change the
"option mac-..." lines for the newer versions, I was hoping someone
could help me figure out this un-documented change.
