I can successfully ping the router 192.168.1.254 now
but cannot get a hit beyond that ...

What are you using for your gateway hardware? I noticed you changed the
IP address of it as well.

The kernel on the LFS LiveCD is rather old and definitely doesn't boot
either my laptop or my desktop that I used to do build testing.  Also
it still refers to ide devices as hdx# instead of sdx#.  (It also does
this for some SATA controllers.)

Probably needs an update.  I doubt it will matter too much if it isn't updated.

I've used QEMU to build LFS, and didn't experience any problem
with the mouse.

Sorry, forgot the friendly link to accompany reference to the

ifconfig is not installed with recent versions of LFS.
look at the "Contents of IPRoute2" section.

I'm rusty, but why is your static IP on a completely different subnet
than your gateway?
Gateway should be the address of your router.
And I think you want an IP that is on the same subnet as the gateway.
So IP and Gateway should differ only in the last octet.

network troubleshooting

2011-01-20 Thread robert
Direct cable from Westell DSL router to network connection on box.

boot up ...

Bringing up eth0 interface ...
... sky2 :03:00.0: eth0: enabling interface
ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

Adding IPv4 address 10.0.0.2 to the eth0 interface ... [ OK ]
setting up default gateway ...
RTNETLINK answers: No such process ... [ FAIL ]
acer2 login: ... sky2 :03:00.0: eth0 Link is up at 100Mbps, full 
duplex, flow control both
ADDRCONF (NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

then full stop ... I  and login prompt pops up

#ifconfig yields: "command not found"
can ping 10.0.0.2
ping gateway 192.168.1.254 yields: Network is unreachable

making and breaking network cable connection is recognized:
Link is up ... Link is down ..


/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv4
ONBOOT=yes
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=10.0.0.2
GATEWAY=192.168.1.2
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

any suggestions?

Re: Recommended LiveCD?

2011-01-20 Thread Someone Somebody
I'm doing it inside VirtualBox and I want a LiveCD that supports
VirtualBox's "absoulute pointing device" that is a feature that allows you
to use mouse pointer integration even without the guest additions installed
which is quite useful when working from a LiveCD.

The LFS LiveCD glitches with this feature (Position desync) so if there is a
different LiveCD that won't require a lot of modification to build LFS with
it that this feature works fine with will be quite helpful.
