Thank you very much, it is now running well after some hardware adventure.

I couldn't find the hostname sent by dhcp, but found a way to find the 
ip address.

The only problem i have is that the "echo done" and other standard 
outputs are not visible in /var/log/messages. How can i keep them either 
in dmesg or /var/log/messages ?

Best regards,
