 Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 5:41 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] After Portage Update, nptd Fails to Start |
 |
|
I'm running Gentoo x86_64 (newly migrated from Xen source tarball to Xen 3.3.1 from Portage) on an AMD dual core box. ntpd has been pretty solid for a few years and just recently I ran an 'emerge -auvDN world' as well as various fixes along the way. After doing this, I had to fix some of the Xen breakage due to my move from using the tarball from the Xen project to using the Portage build. One of the things I had to fix was an error in a network script for Xen that greps for 'inet' and gets confused by the "inet6" present in the current kernel for IPv6. I just changed the grep line so it looks for 'inet ' which was something I found here on the forums. That worked.
Now that networking was up and running and my VMs could start, I got around to trying to fix the problem with ntpd in Domain 0. At first I figured it would be an easy fix, but I have been proven wrong. I've found no references to my exact problem via Google or on the Gentoo forums. Everything is configured correctly (as in has not changed since I first set it up in 2007). But when I try to start it manually with the debug level all the way up, I get the following:
| Code: | xenhost2 src # ntpd -6 -n -I eth0 -d -d -d -d
ntpd 4.2.4p7@1.1607-o Tue Jun 2 05:07:29 UTC 2009 (1)

The only difference I can think of is that previously I did not have IPv6 enabled in my Xen Linux kernel and now I do since it seems to be a default. I'm curious about experimenting with IPv6, so I'd prefer to keep it enabled. Could this be the problem? Anyone else in the same boat?

Same result with -4. I think I might just back up my configs, unmerge, clean out any cruft left behind and then re-emerge at this point, then report the results back here.

In the middle of re-emering ntp now. I also added the USE flag '-ipv6' as a test to see if that might be part of the problem.

That seemed to work. I''m not sure if it was the USE=-ipv6 or cleaning out old cruft. I'll re-emerge without the -ipv6 and post results...

Hmmm... well, it broke when I allowed it to compile with ipv6 support. So for now, I'll leave out ipv6 from ntpd. I wonder if there is something wrong with ipv6 on my system overall. I won't know until I test. But for now I have nptd back.  |
