Changing the netmask to <32 works.
The /32 netmask for a host is at least non-standard. I'm not sure it is ever possible to _use_ such a netmask on an ethernet interface on any other system but linux - it definitely is impossible to use on windows, not sure about *bsd and others. > Debian boots with busybox udhcp and the DHCP configuration fails. > Once Debian is booted and running with the isc dhclient, the > configuration works ok. > > I am told this bug make it impossible or very hard to install > Debian/Squeeze in some cloud environments. I don't know much about cloud enviromnents. But it appears it is best to use standard setup, not resorting to /32 netmasks and peer-to-peer interfaces on ethernet.
