As always, a lot has changed since my last build - and that's without my own variations and errors. So, it's possible that I'm mistaken about this - particularly since the changelog in the bootscripts implies we've been doing this for a couple of months.
I didn't have any network on booting, which made the machine less than useful (all my notes and sources are on nfs). After confirming that the kernel new about eth0 I assumed that something in the book's introduction of dhcpcd had broken my install (I use dhclient). But I now think that all networking is broken. The bootscripts (1.2pre7) no longer make the install-network target during install-bootscripts. Looking at both static networking and dhcpcd, it seems to me that the network bootscript and its symlinks are still needed. After copying the bootscripts to the new build, booting it, running install-network, and rebooting, it works. So, I guess that either (a) we need to fix the bootscripts to do install-network during install-bootscripts. (b) we need to run install-network from the bootscripts tarball in both the static and dhcpcd sections of chapter 12. (c) I'm missing something obvious and networking just works for everyone else. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-dev-cross-lfs.org
