Re: Can't add local route
Andreas Jaehnigen: SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument I get this on i386 using kernel 2.2.10 with Debian 2.1. There is a slight incompatibility between Debian 2.1's network initialisation scripts and the 2.2.x kernels. The error is harmless and may be ignored, as far as I know, though it would be nice if the scripts could be updated to not do this. (It can't be too hard to write a script that works without errors with 2.0.x or 2.2.x, can it?) Edmund

A Sun Lance ethernet card is successfully detected upon kernel startup. However, initialisation scripts give me errors, especially the network ones. in /etc/rcS.d/ The script S40 tries to add some routes.. and whoops! SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument What's going wrong here? I suppose I forgot to add some sort of support in the kernel-- but which kind of?? Hints are greatly appreciated!! And thanks!! :-)) Might be from the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2 kernels. 2.2 Kernels automatically set routes for interfaces configured by ifconfig so when adding the same route again you get an error ...
