RE: [leaf-user] How to debug boot up?
Craig,
Your problems are probably caused by a bad connection (like Ray said)
or your provider asking for a hostname before giving you a lease. I
have the following in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname your hostname
The default config for dhcpcd is to ask and listen on interface eth0,
you can check it in dhcpcd config, option 1 config file:
# Config file for dhcpcd.
case ${INTERFACE} in
eth0)
Also check your Shorewall configuration for the following line (dhcp)
in optin 3 Ifaces config.
#ZONEINTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
neteth0 detect dhcp,routefilter,norfc1918
loceth1 detect
As a last check you can do a shorewall hits to see if any rule is
blocking dhcp requests on eth0.
Because all the above options except hostname are default, the most
likely cause is that your provider expect you to configure the
hostname he gives you on the interface config.

Eric Spakman
Thank you, Lynn.
Configure dhcpcd to use an interface like eth0. How do I do that?
(I'm sorry for what is probably a really simple question)
Thank you, Ray.
Let me see if I can answer some of your questions. 1.)Are these
messages really complete? That is, does Bering's syslog really not
timestamp messages? Are they sequential, or is there stuff in between?
And are there no prior messages from dhcpcd or dhcpcd.exe? Answer: I
have ommitted the timestamps, but yes, these are the last two messages
of /var/log/syslog. 2.)Is the dhcp option specified for eth0 in
/etc/network/interfaces (this is the as-shipped setting)? Answer: Yes
3.)Is the eth0 interface present on the system? (ip link show)
Answer: Yes 4.)Last but not least ... how do you know that DHCP leases
are available on the external interface? Could there be a probem
external to the LEAF system (bad cable, bad DSL/cable modem,
MAC-address-authentication issue with the ISP, etc.)? Answer: I have
connected directly to my cable modem, and to a hub attached to my
existing Bering box (which works perfectly, but uses pump and
dhcpd)...neither way was I able to get an address.
I'm looking on the web for instructions on how to configure dhcpcd to
use an interface as Lynn suggested, but haven't been able to find
anything.
Best Regards,
Craig

Likewise. :)
dhcpcd is loading on boot, but dhcpcd is not running according to ps
ax and /var/log/syslog indicates a couple of error messages:
dhcpcd[15761] : timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server
dhcpcd.exe: wrong interface name
Suggestions?
Configure dhcpcd to use an interface like eth0.
Right now it isn't using any interface ( ie... ).

Re: [leaf-user] How to debug boot up?
Hi everyone! Thank you Lynn Luis (Happy Holidays! :-)) for your suggestions. You were right, Lynn. I had packages that weren't loading. Oddly enough, due to simply bad floppy disks. Now, I have the basic disk almost working. It will provide addresses for my LAN, but it won't grab an address to the WAN. All three of my NICs are the same type, same driver used. Strange. Hmmm, I've scratched my head, and can't think why. lrpkg.cfg looks like: root,config,etc,local,modules,iptables,dhcpd,dhcpcd,shorwall,ulogd,dnsca che,dropbear,weblet Here's the output of ps -ax | grep eth 6218 root408 S /usr/sbin/dhcpd -q eth1 And here's ip addr 1: lo: LOOPBACK,UP mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 2: dummy0: BROADCAST,NOARP mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:a0:cc:d3:c2:14 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth1: BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:a0:cc:52:07:52 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.254/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth1 5: eth2: BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 100 link/ether 00:a0:cc:d3:cf:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Any ideas why eth0 isn't getting an address? To refresh your memory, I'm creating a Bering-uClibc 2.0 with it's default packages. Thank you for your help suggestions.

[leaf-user] How to debug boot up?
Hi folks, I'm trying to set up a new Bering-uClibc v 2.0 firewall, and I'm getting an error message(s) that I think are related to dnscache (which, of course, scroll by so quickly I can't be sure :-). How do find out which package(s) I'm having problems with? I wrote the dmesg to a file, and then examined it...but I don't see any reference to the packages that loaded at boot or the (nf!) message(s) that scroll by. Suggestions? Thank you, Happy Holidays!
