linux (3.0-ARCH) dhcpcd not getting address

Upgraded kernel to 3.0-ARCH and now e100 will not receive dhcp address from dhcp server via dhcpcd.

Re: linux (3.0-ARCH) dhcpcd not getting address

I don't have a direct answer for you but does "sudo cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep dhcpcd" tell you anything useful ?

Re: linux (3.0-ARCH) dhcpcd not getting address

Can you please post the exact error message, the output of 'ip addr' and make sure your modules are loaded 'lsmod | grep e100'.

@lagagnon
I find

grep dhcpcd /var/log/daemon.log

more elegant ;P (BTW, the log is empty on my computer)

Re: linux (3.0-ARCH) dhcpcd not getting address

dhcpcd[]: version 5.2.12 starting
dhcpcd[]: eth0: rebinding lease of ....
dhcpcd[]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[]: timed out

I can manually ifconfig eth0 and get it to ping dhcp server, and it was working with kernel 2.6.39.

So it is not getting an IP address. Are you sure you have checked your router, network cable, ISP technical faults, etc?

Re: linux (3.0-ARCH) dhcpcd not getting address

My dhcp server had the dhcp4 daemon in /etc/rc.conf but it didn't start for some reason.  Something weird seems to have happened with one of the network cards.  Dhcpcd working now.
