Hello,

I've installed Gentoo into VirtualBox. I want it to has static IP address and
I've followed Hand book instructions and the OpenRC/net.example. After reboot
there's a warning: "WARNING: net.lo has already been started" and each network
depending service failes to start with: "<service_name>: waiting for net.eth0
(51)"; where the 51 is a time which decrements to 0.

I've searched net, but without success :-

Can someone help me? The installation is fresh one.

Thanks

Pat

Did you create a symlink for /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and did you add it to the runlevel (rc-update add net.eth0 default)?*

Hi,



Yes, I did. When the Gentoo boots to shell there's only loop back interface.

Are you sure that the kernel module for your network interface is loaded?
What's the output of ifconfig -a after a reboot?*

I have a 32-bit Gentoo Virtualbox VM where I am actually sending this
email from. No problems with having a static IP:

If it helps, I have the VM NEtwork settings set to Bridged Adapter.

ifconfig -a gives:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:26:80:c5
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

RX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

and I didn't compile driver as module but into kernel and when I switch to
dynamic IP address it works OK, so this is (probably) not issue of the driver.

Hello,

I have bridged network too and my configuration looks similar to yours, but I
have 64-bit Gentoo.

config_eth0="192.168.74.101 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#routes_eth0="default via 8.8.8.8"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"

I assume 192.168.74.1 is your modem. Correct? No mention of
broadcast address. I don't know if that's critical or not. Try either
of the following...

config_eth0="192.168.74.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.74.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"

or

config_eth0="192.168.74.101/24 broadcast 192.168.74.255"
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.74.1"
