What system is this? Older models do not respond to ARP requests while the tftp transfer is in progress. You have to upgrade the firmware to get this fixed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
