 Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:33 am Post subject: baselayout & etc-update has hosed my networking [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello all
I've done a silly thing. I recently did an emerge --update --deep world (which gave me a new baselayout) and followed that up with an etc-update.
Now my net.lo & net.eth0 won't start. Error is:
/etc/init.d/net.lo: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions: no such file or directory
Same error for net.eth0
I don't have a net.modules.d directory in /lib/rcscripts !!
Looking at the forums, there seems to be some breakage associated with the new baselayout, but I can't find anyone with a similar error to me.
Has anyone got a clue as to how I can go about getting networking up and running?
Thanks in advance

Looks like a missed etc-update on net.lo. My baselayout-1.12.4-r2 net.lo looks like this: | Code: | 27 # Define where our modules are
28 MODULES_DIR="${svclib}/net"
29
30 # Make some wrappers to fudge after/before/need/use depend flags.
31 # These are callbacks so MODULE will be set.
32 after() {
33 eval "${MODULE}_after() { echo \"$*\"; }"
34 }
35 before() {
36 eval "${MODULE}_before() { echo \"$*\"; }"
37 }
38 need() {
39 eval "${MODULE}_need() { echo \"$*\"; }" |
Line 28 says the modules are in /lib/rcscripts/net.
Run etc-update.

| It's not an etc-update kind of update; when you emerge baselayout there's a message at the end telling you to create symlinks of the existing net.eth* scripts to net.lo. If you don't do that then you'll be running the wrong init script at boot time, and all kinds of things won't work. |

I opted for etc-update because net.lo is not working and it is the file delivered with baselayout. The point regarding links to net.lo for other interfaces is quite valid.
How are you going with this markus42?

Thank you guys so much for your messages. I'm at work now and won't be able to do anything for the next 12 hours.
I'll give your suggestions a try. I did an etc-update straight after the emerge --update --deep world so I'll give the symlink suggestion a try.
Just to recap, you are saying that I should delete my net.ethx script files and replace them with symlinks to net.lo?
But net.lo doesn't work either!
Also, I seem to recall from my very quick peek into these scripts, that they were all the same. Perhaps the net.ethx files are already symlinked to net.lo? Anyway, I'll check when I get a moment tonight.
Thanks again |

OK. I have a Gentoo Virtual Machine running at work. It's on Baselayout 1.11.15-r3 . It does have a
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions file. It looks like my hosed PC has the prior version of the net.lo script. I KNOW I did an etc-update. I remember taking the -5 option to accept all changes.
Let's update my VM version of Gentoo and see what happens.
1. Installs baselayout-1.12.4-r3 (not baselayout-1.12.4-r2)
2. etc-update updates net.lo and a host of other files.
3. Boots with networking OK!!
I'll emerge baselayout-1.12.4-r3 (and do an etc-update) and see how I get on.
Cheers! |

I can't emerge the latest baselayout can I? I don't have any network!
Luckily I had the presence of mind to copy the updated config files from the Gentoo VM to a CD. I overwrote the files on my hosed PC and presto - everything is working OK now.
Thanks for your help! |

This happened to me also.
I did the usual emerge --sync emerge -uv system but ran out of time and forgot about etc-update. Switching on later, I got the problem with net.lo. It all corrected itself after etc-update.
Thanks Chris W

Hey thanks for this thread guys, I would have been pooched...
seems weird they moved all that stuff, but everything worked after an etc-update
