 Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 4:23 pm Post subject: Dhcpcd |
 |
|
After having forgotten to install DHCPCD during the system installation process, I booted the CD, chrooted into my installed system, emerged dhcpcd, rebooted, but dhcpcd fails to start. A line appears saying something like "Starting DHCPCD [!!]". I have no idea about what to do.
I understand I haven't given much information, since I don't get big error messages, so if you need some more info could you tell me where to find it?
Thanks
Luca |

Hi
you can try looking at /var/log, and also the /etc/dhcp* files/directories
dhcpd shoyuld be configured prior to its use, man dhcpd may also help with it.

| If you forgot that then maybe you forgot to add net.eth0 to the default runlevel too? Try /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and see what it does. |

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]

Dear optiluca,
have you edited the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file ?

I just installed gentoo on a Dell C840. The installation went great, I got X working and Gnome installed and working. I then did an emerge -uDva world and dispatch-conf. I thought I carefully went through all the config files correctly, but now I cannot get networking to work.
The error I get at boot or when I try to start it manually is this:
| Code: |
$ /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ !! ]
|
My /etc/conf.d/domainname:
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/domainname
# When setting up resolv.conf, what should take precedence?
# If you wish to always override DHCP/whatever, set this to 1.
OVERRIDE=1
# To have a proper FQDN, you need to setup /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
# properly (domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, and FQDN in /etc/hosts).
#
#DNSDOMAIN=""
DNSDOMAIN="byu.edu"
# This only set what /bin/hostname returns. If you need to setup NIS, meaning
# what /bin/domainname returns, please see:
#
# http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/
#
#NISDOMAIN=""
|
My /etc/conf.d/hostname:
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="acostic"
|
My /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
# 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 :]!).
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-h acostic -t 10"
|
My /etc/hosts:
| Code: | # /etc/hosts
#
# This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
#
127.0.0.1 localhost acostic
10.25.67.154 specks.byu.edu specks
# IPV6 versions of localhost and co
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
|
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I copied the example one to it...
BTW Isn't it /etc/dhcp/dhcpcd.conf? |

Yup, it may be the file that you point
but copying the example isn't enough, you have to actively edit it to select the paramenters of the server, such as the range of served IPs, if there are some fixed IP/MAC pairs, and so on.
man dhcpd.conf

It looks like eth0 may have become the wireless card - which I'm not interested in using. Why would my network card move from eth0 to eth1?
I created a net.eth1 symlink in /etc/init.d to net.lo and started it up - it works. But this is just wierd. |

I know, it's the same problem I had. when you finished emerging X, a window manager and all of its dependencies you probably typed etc-update and let it overwrite all configfiles, this is probably what caused eth0 to become eth1, as that is what I did.

execute these commands in a terminal:
| Code: | # cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1
# rc-update add net.eth1 default
# rc-update del net.eth0 default |
this copies your startup script for eth0 to start eth1 on boot, adds the startup script for eth1 to the default runlevel(which is the runlevel executed first when you boot your gentoo box), and deletes eth0 from the default runlevel(so that you don't get an error every time you boot)

Dude... How you gonna serve DHCP out an interface without an IP address configured? Configure an Ip address on the eth1 interface. Then Make sure that /etc/cond.d/dhcp specifies that the eth1 interface is the one specified.
Hope this helps you

I haven't got a /etc/cond.d/dhcp...

Well,
I've been having the same problem and I can confirm: when you compare to the liveCD, eth0 is now the wireless connection instead of the wired connection, and eth1 is the wired connection. This was pretty confusing to me in the beginning because on the bootcd the wired connection was the eth0 device.
Adding the symlink as described in the "Gentoo Handbook" works fine
| Code: | # cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1
# rc-update add net.eth1 default |
That way, you can use eth1 as the wired connection. No more problems from that point. |
