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. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]>
