 |
|
I have just done an emerge -u world on my system and since then getting strange behaviour on boot.
The scrolled messages on boot report successfull start of eth0 with IP address from dhcp but it then fails to set time via ntp-client and reports said fault upon access to machine (ie boot completed) ifconfig reports no ipaddess and I am able to start with
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
and all starts fine I suspect I cocked it up with an etc-update  but have been unable to locate it for myself as of yet, looking for a fast answer (ie easy way out as I'm sure someone can tell me where I went wrong)  |

I had a problem like that where the init script didn't get updated during the upgrade.
Make sure that /etc/init.d/net.eth0 is actually a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.lo
If it is not, then remove /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and make it a symlink. |

Thanks for reply badchien
unfortunatly this is not the issue as all symlynks are in place and correct. I suspect it may have something to do with new baselayout?? |
