[dockstar] No IP from DHCP; Where is the netconsole-Howto?

[moddy]

Hi.
The dockstar does not get an IP from the Router (fresh install).
Now i wanted to check the booting with netconsole. Moonman did often wrote that there is a HowTo in his signature, but i can't find it.

How can i activate it?

Is uBoot right about that? If one of the other usb devices is actually a storage device, too, then detach it before booting and see if it proceeds. Btw. you can also get kernel messages via netconsole.

[moonman]

See what kernel netconsole tell you. It's setup on a different port and sends messages to a different IP (10.10.10.5 i think) get a second terminal going that listens on that address.
