 |
|
All,
I seem to be having trouble after a fresh install of gentoo x86 on a Dell d630. When it boots up I see where it says trying to rebind to 192.168.2.x . It then says broadcasting for a lease, timed out, allowing 8 seconds for IPV4, then searches for apipa address.
Now then interesting part is once I login if I kill dhcpcd and then do a dhcpcd enp9s0 it will obtain an address.
I am pretty much at a loss of where to being my next phase of troubleshooting. any help would be appreciated.
lspci shows the ethernet as a BCM5755M gigabit ethernet and it is connected to a Cisco 806.1W router. |

Greetings,
Out of curiosity, what does your /etc/conf.d/net file have for the interface?
HTH. Let us know.

Okay,
After you restart dhcpcd, what do you get from "ifconfig -a"?
And, what does the dmesg say about what happened during the time it failed on boot? BTW, if you haven't looked through dmesg before, the best way I know to scan it is, once you have brought up the system, log in as root and do:
And the output we are looking for is what happened when the system was setting up and working with the interface (I bolded the lines in the example below):

after restarting dhcpcd then doing ifconfig -a I get an IP address. Which is good.
Also here is the output from dmesg
| Code: | dmesg | grep enp9s0
[ 12.700313] systemd-udevd[12246]: renamed network interface eth0 to enp9s0
[ 21.541844] tg3 0000:09:00.0 enp9s0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex
[ 21.541847] tg3 0000.09:00.0 enp9s0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX
|
Now I just did some expiermenting and I guess I was thinking (I feel really stupid actually) and did the following
| Code: | | rc-update add dhcpcd default |
then rebooted.
then it took about 15 to 20 seconds but I was able to get an IP address automatically now. I doubled check and I couldn't find in the setup guide that you should add dhcpcd but thinking about it I was like if that is a daemon then I should have it auto start on bootup. |
