Subject: A question about HHL?

Dear All,
	We recently found that HHL supports Force-Computer CPCI6750. But we
have
a Force-Computer Powercore6750, that we believe is primarily the same as
CPCI6750,
but which the backplane bus is vme bus not CPCI bus. And we try to boot
it from a
NFS server by using bootp. But it always can't get the bootp reply from
the server.
We have check the log file of the server, and sure that the server has
received the
bootp request and has sent bootp reply back. And also we check in
function ic_bootp_recv,
we found that it doesn't receive any packet. So, does anyone know what
may be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
									Sincerely,
									Pei-Jie Hong
