 |
|
Hey all,
I'm having a small, but very annoying, problem with my NIC. It seems that some tims on bootup, it won't startup the NIC.
| Code: | * ERROR: Problem starting needed service net.eth0
* netmount was not started |
And ifconfig eth0 shows that the NIC has obtained an IP (using DHCP). I can ping localhost with no problems either. Can't ping anything outside my machine though. Can't see anything else on the local network.
Like I said, sometimes when it boots, it works just fine and that netmount service gets started with no problems. I've compiled the NIC into the kernel * as I do with most of my hardware.
Any ideas?
Tnx

Did you set any nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf, or did DHCP do that? Also, what's the output of route? It looks like there's some delay with DHCP every now and then, and the initscript is timing out because of it.

Greetings again didymos,
Seems you are tracking my latest install and all it's isues. 
Well, I found a thread here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-332982-highlight-netmount.html and it suggested: | Code: | | rc-update del netmount default |
Since I'm not actually trying to mount anything via the network, I'm assuming I don't need the netmount to begin with.
So I removed it from my default startup. Seems as tho the NIC is configured correctly, it's just dropping its conn sometimes. I think it might have something to do with the network I'm working on atm. (walking into an existing network is always a hassle)
Anyway, it popped back in recently w/out having to reboot, so I just started my emerge while I have a conn. I'll see how things go from here, but it still seems a bit weird.
Regarding you questions about /etc/resolv.conf, I'm pretty sure that DHCP grabbed all of that from the local. At least I don't remember physically altering it.
Tnx
