From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: When booting I am unable to get lo and eth0 up. The lo interface shows up but the system does not setup a route for it. I am using a custom kernel so this may be the problem. I added some Networking options to the custom kernel and it changed the behavior. Now lo works fine but I am unable to get an IP on eth0 using pump. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1a. boot machine w/o netlink socket in the kernel OR 1b. boot machine w/netlink socket in the kernel Actual Results: In 1a lo came up w/o a route and eth0 came up fine. In 1b lo came up fine and eth0 cannot get IP using pump. Expected Results: Both interfaces should have came up fine. Additional info: Like I said, I am using a custom kernel. Its version 2.4.8 and it is tuned to my hardware..
You need to enable CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_RTNETLINK.
Created attachment 28193 [details] kernel configuration file for custom kernel
I have enabled both and pump still fails to get an IP. When attempting to do so it says "Operation failed."
Oh, that's a different issue. That will be fixed in initscripts-6.21-1; in the meantime, use dhcpcd.
