Well, this is actually the worst thing on Gentoo: in the end the origin of a problem is always located in front of the computer :). By the way, it's never a good idea to use debugging unless you really want to debug something. Did you set the USE=debug globally? I made the mistake to restart my server with enabled debugging in OpenLDAP. The machine didn't get further than to LDAP. It took me some time to connect a monitor and keyboard to the machine and find the problem ;). You never stop learning (with Linux) :). Stefan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe you should consider using sys-apps/ifplugd. It's quite useful - it starts the net.ethX only if the cable is plugged in. If there is a problem, you just could remove the plug and the net.ethX is not started. And you may not use Knoppix to solve such problems, there are possibilities to append a boot option in GRUB/LILO (there was just a thread about it) to boot into single mode. Hope this helps!

[gentoo-user] dhcpcd 2.0.0 - Boot process hangs
Hello Gentoo-Users, I've recently done an emerge -tuvD world and dhcpcd was updated from version dhcpcd-1.3.22_p4-r11 to version 2.0.0. The emerge went fine, no error message, no note to update config-files, everything seemed to be fine. But at the next reboot, I wasn't able to get an IP adress, and the boot process hanged at that stage. The last thing shown looked like the MAC adress, although I'm not sure on that. The only thing I could do to get my working gentoo back was booting with knoppix, chrooting and going back to the old version of dhcpcd. Now everything works fine with the old version again, but I'd like to know if that is a bug or if I've done something wrong. TIA Christoph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
