Description Eugene Shalygin 2010-08-06 10:33:09 UTC
After upgrading dhcpcd to 5.2.7 on gentoo-sources-2.6.35 net.* start of services during boot leads to long (up to seveal minutes) random delays. With dhcpcd-5.2.6 or kernel 2.6.34 everything is OK. The situations is opposite to the problem, which leaded to appeariance of dhcpcd-5.2.7 in tree.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update kernel to 2.6.35
2. update dhcpcd to 5.2.7
3. add net.* services to default runlevel or to hotplug
4. try to boot

Actual Results:  
System halts on net. services (both ethernet and wifi ones) time to time


In the same time NetworkManager works fine.

This situation has two updates, Can you please debug this step by step?
- try the old dhcpcd on the new kernel
- boot into the old kernel and try the new dhcpcd
(test the old kernel with the old dhcpcd in case something other happened)

Can you please provide a reference to this problem?

Thanks, Michael

Works (5.2.6)

Will check a littel bit later

Comment 6 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2010-08-09 13:40:03 UTC
Roy,

do you have any suggestions for this?  It seems to be the opposite of what was going on with the previous dhcpcd version.

Thanks,

William

and show where the lags are
Comment 9 Eugene Shalygin 2010-08-11 19:07:13 UTC
I've tried to make some tests with both dhcpcd versions (and thus recompiled it many times) but after that I'm unable to reproduce the problem :( During that recompilations only gcc was upgrated from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1.
Probably, bug should be closed as invalid now

Ok, I am closing this per your request.  Please re-open with the information requested if it re-occurs.

Comment 11 Eugene Shalygin 2010-08-16 12:07:40 UTC
The bug is still exists, unfortunately.
What can I add to original description?
1. It occurs only during the normal boot process. If I start net services manually (after booting without them), or even if I use interactive boot mode, everything is OK always.
2. In case of wireless interface, even led does not switch on (does not blink) during these timeouts. However, usually this led starts to blink as soon as ath9k module is loaded.
3. If boot process freeze, it is possible sometimes to unfreeze it by initiating events in system by pressing keys. Usually 2 switches of VTs work.

There are no lags if I run dhcpcd manually after boot. However, output is:

Same here, such a bummer if you happen to get a new wireless card and you're trying to get it up for the first time :)

Comment 14 Jonas Bolldén 2010-08-28 13:54:36 UTC
The error output on my system was:

/sbin/dhcpcd: invalid option -- 'N' 

The option 'N' is derived from the configuration in /etc/conf.d/net:

config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0=( "nontp" )

I found that if I disable the 'nontp' directive, then the boot process works just fine. But according to http://bit.ly/crIgYE line 81 the option should be possible to use (thou there are no mentions of the 'N' option in 'man dhcpcd', nor is there any other suggestion to what to use instead of 'N' or 'nontp').
Comment 15 Eugene Shalygin 2010-09-03 13:58:22 UTC
With gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r5 it seems to be working fine
Comment 16 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2010-10-22 19:05:20 UTC
According to comment #15, this should be working now.

Please re-open if it is still an issue.

Thanks much,

i'm seeing this running gentoo-sources-2.6.36, dhcpcd 4.0.15 and e1000 inside virtualbox-bin 3.2.10.

i have nontp in net. waiting for carrier pause length seems to be random.
Comment 18 Leho Kraav (:macmaN @lkraav) 2010-11-11 03:32:39 UTC
looking better with 5.2.8 now.
