 |
|
dhcpcd is no longer able to start on bootup giving the following error output:
| Code: | | /sbin/dhcpcd: invalid option -- R |
I have unmerged and emerged again dhcpcd without results. I can't find any report of such an error on the net. It seems to be an error somewhere in a script calling dhcpcd.
Funnily this happens as well when trying to start mysql as | Code: | | /etc/init.d/mysql start |
seems to call dhcpcd also:
| Code: | * Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
/sbin/dhcpcd: invalid option -- R
usage: dhcpcd [-dknpqxADEGHKLOTV] [-c script] [-f file ] [-h hostname]
[-i classID ] [-l leasetime] [-m metric] [-o option] [-r ipaddr]
[-s ipaddr] [-t timeout] [-u userclass] [-F none|ptr|both]
[-I clientID] [-C hookscript] [-Q option] [-X ipaddr] <int [ !! ]
|
Any thoughts?

did you run etc-update after your last emerge?
did you recently upgrade baselayout? |

Thanks Uberlord, problem solved by upgrading to openrc and baselayout-2.
The update has not been as smooth as I wished due to lvm mount issues but the gentoo bugs database should help anyone facing the same issue solve it.
