I'm having a problem with dhclient on a machine with / (and /usr) nfs
mounted. Mainly that it hangs.

The scenario is that the kernel net mounts root after doing a dhcp
request. The system then boots, and gets to starting dhclient. Well,
evidently not all of the program gets loaded at once, as pretty soon I see
NFS error 65 messages.

The problem seems to be that dhclient blew away the address binding, but
nfs needs to talk to the server to load enough of the program to get the
new address updated.

This problem just showed up recently when I went to using a 1.5Y kernel on
my 1.5 powerpc system.

Any suggestions on what to do, other than turn of dhclient?

Take care,

Bill
