I am feeling a bit dumb on this one. I can not seem to get net.eth0 to start on one of my systems, it never loads.
Code:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
 * Starting syslog-ng ... [ ok ]
 * Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ...
Exiting, name server cannot be used: Temporary failure in name resolution (-3) * Failed to set clock [ !! ]
 * ERROR: ntp-client failed to start
 * Starting rpcbind ... [ ok ]
 * Starting NFS statd ... [ ok ]
 * Starting NFS sm-notify ... [ ok ]
 * Mounting NFS filesystems ...
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server 192.168.0.2: Name or service not known [ !! ]
 * ERROR: nfsmount failed to start
 * Mounting network filesystems ...
mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server 192.168.0.2: Name or service not known [ ok ]
 * Starting snmpd ... [ ok ]
 * Starting sshd ... [ ok ]
 * Starting local


So lets go thought the basics:
Code:

xenspark init.d # pwd
/etc/init.d
xenspark init.d # ls -la net.eth0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 18 14:28 net.eth0 -> net.lo
xenspark init.d # rc-update -s | grep net.eth0
             net.eth0 |           default
xenspark init.d # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * Bringing up interface eth0
 *   192.168.0.98 ...
 [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default via 192.168.0.1 ...
 [ ok ]
xenspark init.d # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0="192.168.0.98 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1"
xenspark init.d # ls /etc/runlevels/default/
local     netmount  ntp-client  sshd       udev-postmount
net.eth0  nfsmount  snmpd       syslog-ng
xenspark init.d # ls -la /etc/runlevels/default/net.eth0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 18 14:04 /etc/runlevels/default/net.eth0 -> /etc/init.d/net.eth0
xenspark init.d # emerge -s openrc

Sticking to basics, what does ifconfig show after startup ? From you original output it is not clear that net.eth0 did not start, perhaps interface did not get an IP ?

When I did my openRC updates last week, I saw that net.lo was in the boot runlevel. I did the same for net.eth0.

You could try that.

Code:
rc-update del net.eth0 default
rc-update add net.eth0 boot



hth,

net.lo should be in boot
net.<anything else> should be in default

This is a similar but different problem. After an update, I find that my /etc/init.d/net.eth0 has simply disappeared.
Can someone please let me know how I can get it back? Thank you, I will be very grateful.

Code:

xenspark ~ # lspci -k
xenspark ~ #
xenspark ~ # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep rc_sys
rc_sys="xenU"


lspci returns nothing. Xenspark is a VM domU under xen.

That would have been a helpful thing to know in the 1st place.

Are your network drivers compiled into the kernel or loaded as modules?

All net drivers are compiled into the kernel.

I don't see how being a VM changes this problem. The network card is there, and working. The VM was working fine until the OpenRC upgrade. Manual start of net.eth0 works just fine. I am not sure how to debug openrc.

I too, had net.eth0 failing to start on boot after the openRC/baselayout upgrade.

Could start it _manually_ and it would come up without issue, but I could not get it to come up 'on it's own', despite all indications that it should be working.

May not be the ideal solution, but setting the following in /etc/rc.conf got it to start at boot:

Code:

rc_depend_strict="YES"

Code:

 * Bringing up interface eth0
 *   192.168.0.98 ...  [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default via 192.168.0.1 ... [ ok ]


Thanks DNAspark99! Setting rc_depend_strict="YES" in my rc.conf worked!

Thanks DNAspark99. That worked for me too.

I also had to do the following (which has been discussed elsewhere in the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml and above)
Code:


cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
rc-update add net.eth0 default

worked for me as well - but I'm wondering why the system even has the option of not starting something that is in the default runlevel...

I just stumbled upon a solution. I just built a new system from the minimal install ISO dated 20110708. After getting the basic system installed and booting off its own HDD, I found that nothing I had added to that default startup group would start.

Seems that warning for datetime being correct should be heeded more closely. After 15 minutes of head troubleshooting, I realized that the clock on the system during the time of the chroot build process was hours ahead of real time, I set the time with the date command and didn't give it another thought. That was until I realized after wondering why in the world none of my services where starting. In trying to debug the startup, I found the datetime stamps on some of files in the future - that's when it hit me.

To fix my issue and get everthing to startup.

rc-update --update

This forcing a dependency tree update and finally resolved my startup issues.

My SheevaPlug (headless) suffers this problem: on reboot, the dhcpcd fails to secure its IP, and then, of course, other services such as sshd and apache fail because there is no network connection. I'm effectively blocked from accessing the computer until I establish a hard-wire link. Yet, when I am able to log in via my serial port (using minicom from another computer), I can then start dhcpcd and then sshd. This suggests that there is a priority issue afoot at startup time and that dhcpcd is being called too early.

I have not brought my system up current as of today, but will do so just to see if the dhcpcd updates. I did activate
Code:
rc_depend_strict="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf and I also performed "rc-update --update", these two solutions did not solve my problem.

I'll update when I fix the problem and learn why.

Thank you -- I found the problem: I had the old style and somehow had missed the distinction of not having parenthesis when I reviewed the openrc-migration.xml weeks, if not months, earlier. Here's the revised file that works:
Code:
plug init.d # cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).

#
# Below is old style
# per http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
#
#config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_eth0="dhcp"
plug init.d #
