Network won't start on reboot

colbert · 2008-10-27 19:22:58

I rebooted my server and now my network daemon keeps failing on boot, showing "/sbin/dhcpcd -N invalid option". I haven't changed any settings myself. To get it running I keep having to run /sbin/dhcpcd eth0 as root, and then it works fine.

Thanks for any help

In one of the last updates the parameters to dhcpcd changed.

I never heard of -N, but I had '-R' and its gone, so it failed since it isnt a valid option.

Look at '/etc/conf.d/dhcpcd', and edit it if necessary.

DHCPCD_ARGS="-N -R -t 30 -h $HOSTNAME"

That was mine. I have changed it to:

DHCPCD_ARGS="-t 30 -h $HOSTNAME"

My mythbackend is recording for a while now so I will reboot after and hopefully that will work! Thanks very much Mektub!

colbert,

I just remember that this new dhcpcd brings some more trouble: sometimes it overwrites your /etc/resolv.conf.

In fact I think '-R' just said 'dont touch my resolv.conf'.

Anyhow, following:

I have now my nameserver in the file /etc/resolv.conf.head

Developers make this changes so that we dont fall asleep.

Thanks Mektub I have changed it to add the -C resolv.conf, will post back when she's rebooted tomorrow.
