 Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2003 8:54 am Post subject: Failed to bring eth0 up! |
 |
|
ok....here is the story.....
I changed my service, so now I get service via DHCP. When I changed the /etc/conf.d/net file to "iface_eth0="dhcp"" I get the lovely "Failed to bring eth0" up. The funny thing is, when I left the original information in that line, the device loaded?? I commented the gateway setting out, made it dhcp, tried everything. I'm almost 100% sure I don't need to load a module or autoload anything since the nic was working perfectly before the switch to dhcp. I don't know what else to do and need to get this thing up and running ASAP.
Thanks in advance for the help
BTW ifconfig is a big loop with a bogus inet address of 127.0.0.1 and a mask of 225.0.0.0

| Try manually running dhcpcd and see what happens. |

I've done that, and it just hangs as well.

| Are you getting your IP from your ISP through DHCP? Does dhcpcd log anything to either the console or /var/log/? |

Yes, the ISP assigns the IP through DHCP (cox cable). I can't find anything in /var/log/ that coincides with my network card. This is weird, it should work from "iface_eth0="dhcp"" the only other thing I can think of is the default gateway, but that shouldn't hinder eth0 unusable...should it???
Thank you

| Dhcpcd has quite a few options, such as -d for debug. Which ones have you tried? Check with |

OK....it's still not working
Upon further inspection it looks as though the ported dhcpcd program is corrupt or did not install, something is wrong. I change "iface_eth0="263.225.63.239 blah blah blah"" and I'm able to bring eth0 up.....however when it's set to dhcp, it's unable to bring the device up?
I checked the man page, and did the dhcpcd -d however in the man page, it has /etc/dhcpcd/ as a file path, in my system, this does not exist (re-emerged like 10 minutes ago).
So I think it's dhcpcd isn't configured or installed correctly..........off to get dhcpcd fresh
If yall read this and spot something please let me know, this is driving me nuts!!!

Try looking in /etc/dhcpc.
| Code: | # ls /etc/dhcpc/
dhcpcd-eth0.cache dhcpcd-eth0.info dhcpcd-eth0.info.old |

There is no /etc/dhcpxx/ directory

Strange. Even I who don't use dhcp have the /etc/dhcpc directory. If it doesn't exist, that might be your problem. Why don't you create it yourself?

What about acpi? Do you have it enabled? In that case, boot with acpi=off or pci=noacpi.

It has to be something with the way dhcpcd is configured, looks as though I'll have to edit the source in some way to make it work. I have a couple quesions though.....in /etc/sysctl.conf....is there anything I need to comment out or activate?
I've tried to log with dhcpcd -d but there isn't a /var/log/dhcpcd.log file located there despite adding /etc/syslog.conf file.
I've linked the /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf to the /etc/resolv.conf but can't find where the dhcpcd daemon operates from I'm looking into this page, which posts similar problems with dhcpcd....
| Code: |
elif [ "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp -a "$ISALIAS" = no ]; then
echo -n "Using DHCP for ${DEVICE}... "
/sbin/dhcpcd
echo "echo \$$ > /var/run/dhcp-wait-${DEVICE}.pid; exec sleep 30" | sh
if [ ! -f /var/run/dhcp-wait-${DEVICE}.pid ]; then
^^^^^^
echo "failed."
exit 1

Do you have to supply a computername to the dhcp server to get an IP (like I have to do, I yell 'cc233190-a ' to the dhcp server, and the dhcp server shoves me an IP address.
It could be that you have to give dhcpcd a computername to send out to the server, to actually get an IP?
This would explain why when a static IP is given everything works. |

that is a possibility, where would I change the computer name in dhcpcd?
I know cox authenticates MAC address, but that is at a modem level, so I don't think I would be affected changing machines.
