Subject: Can't get DHCP info on 2.6.0 test4

Dear all:
I've just booted test4 and the dhcp client can't get the network info.
Also I got some eth timeout messages.

I've tried booting with "noacpi" (I had similar problems with 2.4.x which
I fixed using 'noacpi') but it didn't worked.

My eth card is a realtek 8139 (onboard).

Thanks in advance

You could try my noacpi-option-fix from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-
test4/2.6.0-test4-mm2/broken-out/noacpi-option-fix.patch

Alternatively cou could try 2.6.0-test4-mm2 which includes the patch.
