 Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 8:32 am Post subject: problem connecting (dhcp) on boot time |
 |
|
I tried to connect during boot time by
# rc-update add net.eth0 default
Now, when booting, dhcp tries to connect a few seconds and than gives up (no response).
When I issue
# dhcpcd
I have a connection after quite a while.
How can I tell the net.eth0 scrip to give more time for a response
and, ideally, not to block booting meanwhile? |

You can add dhcp arguments in /etc/conf.d/net: /etc/conf.d/net.example shows | Code: | # For passing custom options to dhcpcd use something like the following. This
# example reduces the timeout for retrieving an address from 60 seconds (the
# default) to 10 seconds.
#dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |
which you can use to increase it â the default appears to be 60 seconds.

Changed timeout back to 60 sec
(was on 10sec, must have changed it somewhen)
and it works.
Unfortunately, booting takes 30 sec longer now.
Do you possibly know how/if I can force booting to continue,
while dhcpcd is waiting for response?
I imagine to remember that, on my last computer,
it worked like that. But maybe connecting just went faster then.
Thank you,
Matthias |

I think you've already pointed out the problem: there are several init scripts that are dependent on net which is dependent on eth0.
