packet capture of beta1 boot

[darkblueb]

apparently a clean boot (no failure):

apache2 failed boot sequence

[kalxas]

Works for me

[kalxas]

Is this still happening?

[darkblueb]

one test today and yes, it failed in the same way (Berkeley, Calif residential DSL)

[darkblueb]

failed on rc1 in the same way. Some research on the nature of the failure shows that this is a local device protocol query, not a query to a well-known external address. Users may or may not experience this in their own local network environment; the effect in a VM is unknown

I have no problems on my installation with rc2
