ntp-client still not start at boot time. But start exellent manually. Try with kernels: kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r4 kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 kernel-2.6.16-rc2-git1 Baselayout: sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre16-r1 Also tried to play with RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING option in /etc/conf.d/rc no results Tried to add postup() { [[ "${IFACE}" == "eth0" ]] && sleep 5 } to /etc/conf.d/net no results network card driver compiled as module tg3 (gigabit ethernet) secontady network card (tg3 too) is not used. Thanks for any ideas.
additional info processor is dual core opteron, kernel is smp enabled in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client specified ip address

As I can see interface up very slowly. How can I ask /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to wait when interface really up (with timeout)?
udevd run "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 --quiet start" via /etc/hotplug/net.agent "/sbin/rc default" run "/etc/init.d/ntp-client start" these are executed at the same time (in parallel)
remove /etc/hotplug/net.agent it's not help net.eth0 finished before eth0 fully initialized
post the output of `rc-update -s`

As far as baselayout is concerned the interface is up correctly before ntp-client runs as shown by your output. kernel team, this maybe a similar issue to bug #94668
Daniel Drake in bug #94668 sugest to tweak latest gentoo-sources and git-sources kernels. I have tried these kernels (kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 and kernel-2.6.16-rc2-git1). ifconfig, ip, mii-tool report "interface is up" but its still initialize. I have this problem with e1000 ang tg3 gigabit ethernet kernel modules (another gigabit ethernet not tested).
Sorry, git-sources is broken at the moment. Could you please try vanilla-sources-2.6.16-rc4?
(In reply to comment #12) I have tried vanilla-sources-2.6.16-rc5. It's not help.
I made some dirty work around. Disable auto negotiation on ethernet switch port. Its increase speed of link initialization. In this case ntp-client started successful sometimes. add postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net postup() { if [[ "${IFACE}" == "eth0" ]] ; then COUNT=300 while [[ $COUNT -gt 0 ]] && mii-tool "${IFACE}" 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'no link'; do sleep 1 let COUNT-- echo -ne "." done echo fi #mii-tool not help too #make a pause also, it's dirty, but it help sleep 60 return 0 } Remove execute permissions from /etc/hotplug/net.agent, its disable execution /etc/init.d/net.eth0 by udev in backgroung. I did it because service net.eth0 marked as 'started' before begin execute postup()
Please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.kernel.org against 2.6.16-rc5. This appears to be an e100 bug where the interface is not usable until several seconds after "ifconfig eth0 up" has completed. After doing that, please post the new bug URL here.
