Hi all - |

Got a funny one that has cost me a few hours of wondering, followed by |
| 4 |
enlightenment, followed by more wondering... Not sure this is an AMD64 |
| 5 |
issue or a kernel issue, but since I'm subscribed here, thought I'd |
| 6 |
start here. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I started my newly rebuilt system on gentoo-sources 2.6.13, but since |
| 9 |
this is a firewall machine, I opted to go with hardened-sources 2.6.11. |
| 10 |
Quickly found out that GRSecurity level "high" caused startup errors |
| 11 |
with INIT, but "medium" seemed to work fine. However, for the life of |
| 12 |
me, I couldn't get DHCPD to respond to request for IP addressed. No |
| 13 |
dmesg complaint, nothing in the log files, no network activity... the |
| 14 |
last was the key. I'm using the builtin Marvel gigabit on my Asus |
| 15 |
motherboard. Eventually I realized I couldn't do anything out that |
| 16 |
port, although ifconfig showed it up. A bit more looking showed the |
| 17 |
lack of a link-light. Tried swapping cables, ports, etc. - no go. |
| 18 |
Eventually booted back to 2.6.13 (non-hardened source tree) and the port |
| 19 |
works fine! I noticed the LiveCD is 2.6.12, and the port works there as |
| 20 |
well (which kept me from going completely insane and replacing the |
| 21 |
motherboard. Once it worked on LiveCD I realized I had a kernel problem.) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So... does anyone know if this is a 2.6.11 issue, and AMD-64 issue, or a |
| 24 |
general hardened-sources issues? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thanks! |
