1 Hello,
2
3 I am following the runlevel guide
4 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4
5 to set up an offline runlevel for my laptop. I have in
6 /etc/runlevels/offline:

8 rmason # rc-update show offline
9 acpid | offline
10 cpufreqd | offline
11 gpm | offline
12 ivman | offline
13 local | offline
14 pcmcia | offline
15 syslog-ng | offline
16 vixie-cron | offline

18 Based on the ouput of <scriptname> ineed, nothing there needs
19 net.eth0.

21 When I boot into the kernel with this entry in grub.conf:
22
23 # For booting GNU/Linux
24 title Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 (offline)
25 root (hd0,0)
26 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=offline
27
28 the system still tries to start eth0 and then wastes time while dhcpd
29 times out.

31 I am not sure what what I have done wrong. Can anyone help?

33 Thanks,
