Why does it take so long for dhcp to start? It seems like it takes 20 seconds which is slow.
Offline
it shouldn't take that long....are you using the network daemon and have eth0 set to dhcp in /etc/rc.conf?

I don't know if I am using the network daemon. It always seems to fail when I boot Arch. Then I have to use "cardctl eject; cardctl insert" commands to get the network to work. Here is my /etc/rc.conf file:
#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#
#
# Localization
#
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime"
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: fount in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-us)
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
#
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE=US/Michigan
KEYMAP=us

# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"

#

# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)

I figured out what the problem was. I had eth0 set to dhcp and there is no media attached to it.
