RE: [leaf-user] How to debug boot up?

[Craig C. <cra...@co...>]

Thank you, Lynn.

"Configure dhcpcd to use an interface like "eth0"." How do I do that?
(I'm sorry for what is probably a really simple question)

Thank you, Ray. 

Let me see if I can answer some of your questions. 1.)"Are these
messages really complete? That is, does Bering's syslog really not
timestamp messages? Are they sequential, or is there stuff in between?
And are there no prior messages from dhcpcd or dhcpcd.exe?" Answer: I
have ommitted the timestamps, but yes, these are the last two messages
of /var/log/syslog. 2.)"Is the dhcp option specified for eth0 in
/etc/network/interfaces (this is the as-shipped setting)?" Answer: Yes
3.)"Is the eth0 interface present on the system? ("ip link show")"
Answer: Yes 4.)"Last but not least ... how do you know that DHCP leases
are available on the external interface? Could there be a probem
external to the LEAF system (bad cable, bad DSL/cable modem,
MAC-address-authentication issue with the ISP, etc.)?" Answer: I have
connected directly to my cable modem, and to a hub attached to my
existing Bering box (which works perfectly, but uses pump and
dhcpd)...neither way was I able to get an address.

I'm looking on the web for instructions on how to configure dhcpcd to
use an interface as Lynn suggested, but haven't been able to find
anything.

Best Regards,
Craig

Configure dhcpcd to use an interface like "eth0".
Right now it isn't using any interface ( ie... "").
