 Posted: Fri May 27, 2005 11:23 am Post subject: [Solved] Running dhcpcd... default connect time too long |
 |
|
Hi, all...
Since setting up my gentoo laptop and getting networking to function, I have experienced the following problem. If I boot my laptop in the absence of a network connection. the boot sequence hangs at: | Code: | * Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd... [ !! ]
* ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
"netmount" was not started |
No problem with the error message... that's expected without the network attached. The problem is the 2 1/2 min. hang time at the "Running dhcpcd..." line, while gentoo tries to "start needed services"
Is there a config file or some other way to reduce this hang time and enable a faster boot??
Thanks, to anyone who can help with this...

| Use ifplugd to manage the starting and stopping of network interfaces |

UberLord...
Thanks for the advice to use ifplugd to correct my problem, but I must not have it set up correctly. A snippit from my log when booting without a network hookup is as follows: | Code: | May 28 15:33:01 cgmd ifplugd(eth0)[5142]: ifplugd 0.27 initializing.
May 28 15:33:01 cgmd ifplugd(eth0)[5142]: Using interface eth0/00:09:6B:10:0B:79 with driver <e100> (version: 3.3.6-k2-NAPI)
May 28 15:33:01 cgmd ifplugd(eth0)[5142]: Using detection mode: SIOCETHTOOL
May 28 15:33:01 cgmd ifplugd(eth0)[5142]: Initialization complete, link beat not detected.
May 28 15:33:02 cgmd ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[0030dd900003066f]
May 28 15:35:03 cgmd dhcpcd[5592]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
|
As before I emerged ifplugd, the 'timed out' occurs after waiting 2 min for a valid DHCP server response. Is it possible to reduce the waiting time to just a few seconds?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this...

| Code: | | dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |
(or any other time than 10 in seconds) in /etc/config.d/net should help. |
