Ok, that's what happens: When I do #> rc-updade add atftp default the script /etc/init.d/net.eth0 fails to start on the next boot, but works if I rerun it manually, after logging in. Consequently, every network service, like dhcp, fails too. But if I just rename the atftp script to another name, like in.tftp (the default script name of netkit-tftp), and do #> rc-update add in.tftp default it works perfectly! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type: #> emerge atftp #> rc-update add atftp default #> reboot And wait for net.eth0 to fail on the next boot Now, to solve, do the following steps: #> rc-update del atftp default #> mv /etc/init.d/atftp /etc/init.d/in.tftp #> rc-update add in.tftp default #> reboot And check that the system will start perfectly Actual Results: The script net.eth0 fails to bring up the interface Expected Results: The script net.eth0 should not fail in any case 1. I set values for both variables TFTPD_ROOT and TFTPD_OPTS inside the script, between the first mandatory runscript line and the first mentioned function, depend() 2. I was using DHCP configuration and an alias in /etc/conf.d/net for eth0. I did not try with static IP configuration or with no interface aliases 3. I had an installed and configured, working net-misc/dhcp server package
