I cleaned up my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 by moving the NIC driver (tg3) to an appropiate "alias" file in /etc/modules.d/network. It reads: alias eth0 tg3 Although I see this module to be loaded when /etc/init.d/net.eth0 starts, the service itself failes with the following message: * Starting eth0 * Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded * No configuration for eth0 The file /etc/conf.d/net is empty and yes, it should use dhcpcd then. dhcpcd is installed. "ifconfig eth0 up && dhcpcd eth0" works flawless. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start 2. 3. Actual Results: * Starting eth0 * Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded * No configuration for eth Expected Results: Bring up eth0, using dhcpcd Portage 2.0.51-r2 (default-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20041021-r0, 2.6.9 -gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r2 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.5 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/s hare/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dv ipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config / /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://mirror s.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ gentoo http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi acpi4linux aim alsa antlr apache2 apm audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fo nts bluetooth bonobo cddb cdr chroot crypt cups devfs26 doc dvd encode esd ether eal evo f77 fam foomaticdb gda gdbm gif gimp gimpprint glade gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile ieee1394 imagemagick imlib irda java jpeg ldap libg++ libwww mad m box mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mpeg4 msn ncurses nls nptl odbc oggvorbis open gl pam pcmcia pda pdflib perl png postgres ppds python quicktime readline samba scanner sdl slang sox spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype usb vanilla x 86 xinerama xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Same behaviour here.
Could you add RC_VERBOSE=yes to /etc/conf.d/net and postup the output again please?
I'd just like to say the same thing is now happening to me - and I haven't changed anything. I did as Roy Marples suggested and I get: * Starting eth0 * Loading networking modules for eth0 * modules: ifconfig * ifconfig provides interface * Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded * No configuration for eth0 [ !! ] Andrew
Well, I upgraded gawk this morning. Could that be it? Andrew
I doubt gawk would break that. It looks like dhcpcd is *not* installed or not where I expect it to be ..... so where is your dhcpcd installed? # which dhcpcd /sbin/dhcpcd
DLD8-FBLK31J ~ # RC_VERBOSE=yes /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Loading networking modules for eth0 * modules: iwconfig essidnet ifconfig * iwconfig provides wireless * ifconfig provides interface * Wireless extensions not found for eth0 * Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded * No configuration for eth0
No, dhcpcd is installed at /usr/sbin. After sym-linking it to /sbin, the behaviour changes to DLD8-FBLK31J ~ # RC_VERBOSE=yes /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Starting eth0 * Loading networking modules for eth0 * modules: iwconfig essidnet ifconfig dhcpcd * iwconfig provides wireless * ifconfig provides interface * dhcpcd provides dhcp * Wireless extensions not found for eth0 * Bringing up eth0 * Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp * eth0 dhcp * Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ] * eth0 received address 192.168.0.114 and interface goes up. But since I did not modify anything in the dhcpcd ebuild, I guess dhcpcd is in place it should be.
use dhcpcd -r5 or -r7 but not -r6

How come sometimes new ebuilds are not respected?
