Hi. On several of my gentoo workstations, I'm using a kernel generated |
| 2 |
from genkernel together with autoconfig to autodetect the machine |
| 3 |
hardware. |
| 4 |
I'm having a few problems with dhcp. On some machines, when starting |
| 5 |
net.eth0 complains that dhcpcd is already active, and refuses to go |
| 6 |
up. It seemed autoconfig was trying to get an ip address on its own. |
| 7 |
So, I got 'nodhcp' in kernel parameters to avoid it. |
| 8 |
autoconfig now doesn't broadcast for ip address and lets net.eth0 do |
| 9 |
its work. However, autoconfig is overwriting my /etc/conf.d/net, |
| 10 |
commenting out the 'iface_eth0' line. I don't see any way to avoid |
| 11 |
this apart from editting the autoconfig script itself (which doesn't |
| 12 |
seem to be the Right Thing to do). |

What can I be missing? |
