 Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2005 7:27 pm Post subject: DHCPCD wont work on startup[SOLVED] |
 |
|
I set up my /etc/conf.d/net as they said you should in the installation handbook and it wont work on startup. However when I manually type:
dhcpcd eth1
then I can get on the net. Anyone think they can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Did you create /etc/init.d/net.eth1 and set it as a boot service?
If so what error does it give at boot time?

Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 is created and was added to boot using rc-update add net.eth1 default |

Try:
| Code: | rc-update del net.eth1 default
rc-update add net.eth1 boot |
Sometimes that will work where default does not. |

| Same problem, might help to know that running /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start has the same end result. |

/etc/conf.d/net can be empty with the current baselayout if you want to get IP by DHCP.
| Quote: | cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
|
Do this and then remake the symlink from net.eth1 to net.lo.
Also would be worth checking your logs. |

| Just tried that... ln -s net.lo net.eth1 is the command to create the symbolic link you asked for ? If that is the case its still not working, what should I look for in my logs in particular? |

Provided you are in /etc/init.d, then yes. Do ls -l there to be sure.
You are looking for more details of the error when dhcpcd fails at boot. |

I have the exact same problem with eth0
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* starting eth0
* bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd... [!!] |
However, manual activation works:
| Code: | ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0 |
It's an intel pro 100+
It's loaded as a module with "e100" in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
I don't know what is broken about net.eth0  |

| Check to make sure you don't have bash version 3.1 (or higher). It has a problem with init scripts. net is one of the casualties. bash-3.0-r14 works fine. |

Don't think bash is the problem. |

Well Dan, I've exactly the same problem and can't figure it out myself, yes yes yes, I'm a noob, I know, first time installing gentoo on my voodoo machine  .
But yeah, automaticly loading doesn't work and manually everything works fine...
Strange for me, easy for a guru :p |

| I figured out my problem! It's due to one of two things. Either the 0 I had set to override in /etc/conf.d/domainname or the space in the hostname at /etc/conf.d/hostname. I know, naughty of me for doing both. I suspect it's more likely to be the space being the culprit though. |
