Hi all! :)

I've done a fresh install according to http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Quick_Install_Guide.
Fresh kernel from raspberry foundation GIT, and newest stage3.
However, i've stuck with some kind of problem with net.eth0.
It just won't start on boot.
When i start it manually, it works with no problem.

I've checked list of services after booting with rc-update show boot, and it confirms that net.eth0 is in boot runlevel.
However, checking it with rc-status boot shows that it isnt running.

Please help me :( i've stuck on this, and withou autostarting net i cannot use sshd :(

It should be in the default runlevel.

I've tried putting into default instead of boot. Unfortunately, it doesn't help :(

Syster,

How is your network kernel module made. Module or built in?
What about your USB support, as networking depends on USB.

You can still use ssh but you need to start it by hand meanwhile after eth0 is started.

My Pi is building lsbutils so I can't provide module names just now.

I don't change anything in kernel configuration - i used one provided from raspberry foundation (like in tutorial said).
But as far as i remember, they use static modules for networking.

SSHD isn't working beacause even if i start by hand net.eth0, starting sshd brings me an RC error about net

Syster,

Is your net.lo started. Normally, the net service is not considered up unless all interfaces are up.

Once eth0 is up, what does ifcinfig -a show ?
Code:
Pi_Net ~ # ifconfig -a
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.10.123  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.10.255
        inet6 fe80::ba27:ebff:fe60:6963  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether b8:27:eb:60:69:63  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 11493818  bytes 1452285274 (1.3 GiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 11930502  bytes 2293806868 (2.1 GiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 16436
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 0  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
Notice that both interfaces have inet <IPv4_IP> lines.

If you fetch a kernel and firmware with rpi-update, does that work?
Using a new kernel with out of date firmware can produce strange results too - is your firmware up to date?

when net.eth0 is up manualli, it normally gets IP and connectivity.

I'm not quite sure if my firmware is up-to-date.
I copied whole /boot directory from RPi Git into /boot on SD card.
As far as i know it also have firmware files, right?

Syster,

Thats right. I have just run rpi-update and got a new kernel and firmware. It all just worked for me. To avoid asking you to make long posts, compare your which services are where to mine.

I ran into the same problem.
Editing /etc/rc.conf to enable the rc_sys variable solved it for me.
Strangely if I edit rc.conf before the first boot the same issue appears and commenting out rc_sys solves the problem.

Got exactly the same problem, and I was stuck for some days with it !!!


I finally found the answer.

Rapberry-pi has no clock, and when building the sd-card on the x86 machine, some timestamp of the dependency tree won't mach the current time when running on the rpi.

You need to do a
Code:
rc-update -u
to force updating the dependency tree.

Then rc scripts will fix the new dependencies provided by your net.eth0 script.

Or if you are not as stubborned as me and go further with the wiki's instruction, stuff will probably fixup themselves when setting the software clock + ntp
