Steffen,

That didn't work either.

The log on console 3 shows the following:

got info from the cmdline
hostname: 169.10.248.66
netmask: 255.255.255.0
broadcast: 169.10.248.255
gateway: 169.10.248.1
server: 169.10.63.215 (no ip)
nameserver:

Looking for a network server...
Ok that didn't work; see if we can activate another network device
insmod /modules/tg3.ko
Ok that seems to have worked
trying to activate eth0
settting up localhost.... done
eth0 activated
http error: connect: No route to host


When I do the dhcp test I get
....
eth0 activated
going for automatic install

And it works.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David Bellis

Something like hostip=1.2.3.4/24 gateway=5.6.7.8 install=... should work.
If not, have a look at the log on console 3. There is definitely no
'fallback' to use dhcp if static network config fails.
