I'm trying to install Gentoo on an IBM PC 300PL with the basic LiveCD, and this is what's happening. My network interface (eepro100) is detected, but when it tries to get an IP address from DHCP, it immediately finished, there is no delay. After it is booted up, I look in /var/log/everything/current, and there is a couple zillion lines like this: Feb 10 17:35:30 [dhcpcd] dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFADDR: Bad file descriptor Feb 10 17:35:30 [dhcpcd] dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Bad file descriptor Feb 10 17:35:30 [dhcpcd] terminating on signal 4 I tried entering in an address manually, and it works, as long as I set all the routes, etc. manually, although DHCP is nicer :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up with nodhcp set 2. tail /var/log/everything/current 3. dhcpcd eth0 4. tail /var/log/everything/current, again Actual Results: I saw errors, and didn't have an address assigned to eth0 Expected Results: There shouldn't be any errors pertaining to eth0, and it should have an address
Is the appropriate module for that NIC loaded?
