I tried to follow the instructions for the baselayout upgrade...
- good news - the system boots
- bad news - networking is totally broken
- really good news - I have a hot backup machine, which I'm sending
this message from G
DMESG does show the Via-Rhine card coming up, and I do not use modules
for anything. I simply have a honking big kernel.
Here's my /etc/conf.d/net. How does the syntax look?
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
# Actually /usr/share/doc/openrc-version/net.example is where to look
# for example setup.
config_eth0=
192.168.123.249/29 broadcast 192.168.123.255 mtu 1454
169.254.1.3/16 broadcast 169.254.255.255
routes_eth0=
default via 192.168.123.254 metric 2
192.168.123.248/29 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0
169.254.0.0/16 via 169.254.1.3 metric 0
In case anyone is wondering...
- the default via 192.168.123.254 metric 2 allows a dialup connection
to take priority, without me having to manually tear down eth0, and
restart it after dialup finishes. I don't use it that often, but when
ADSL is down, it's nice to have a backup connection.
- The /29 route allows my main machine to talk to my other machine via
eth0, even when a dialup session is in progress.
- The 169.254.x.y/16 stuff is for my network-enabled TV tuner box, which
*INSISTS* on coming up with a zero-config address... it's not a
bug, it's a feature so they say.
File-attached is the last page of screen output from the boot process,
in case it'll help.
