 Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 9:01 pm Post subject: No DHCP client installed [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi everybody. Suddenly Gentoo tells me that there is no dhcp client installed when booting
| Code: |
* Starting eth0
Bringing up eth0
dhcp
No DHCP client installed
|
but that's no true. I've already installed dhcpcd
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.2 0 kb |
My /etc/conf.d/net content is
| Code: | config_eth0=( "dhcpcd" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis" |
I have no idea why dhcp is not loading. So far it worked well. Any idea?

| Sorry Think4UrS11, it was a typo (I couldn't copy/paste the content). It is already config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) |

Try commenting out all the lines in /etc/conf.d/net and see if it will work with the default settings. If not, then you at least will know that it isn't your configuration.

Did it, but still the same message 
| Code: | * Starting eth0
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
* No DHCP client installed |
Should I try with another dhcp client? |

1. Yes, /sbin/dhcpcd exists
2. Seems that baselayout is version 1.12.1
emerge -pv baselayout gives
| Code: | | [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.6 [1.12.1] USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -static" 216 kB |
3. Yes, net.eth0 is a symlink to net.lo
4. etc-update gives
| Code: | Scanning Configuration files...
Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :) |

I discovered that if I issue
as root, the network is working!
It means that dhcp is not loading at boot?
The result of rc-update -s is
| Code: | alsasound | boot
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
dbus | default
hald | default
hostname | boot
keymaps | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
metalog | default
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
rmnologin | boot
urandom | boot
vixie-cron | default
