Hi,
I've upgraded from Fedora 7 to 9, and my machine now fails to acquire an IP address when it boots up.
After the upgrade, the boot screen which shows all the
Code:
starting xyz... [OK]
messages (don't know what to call it) showed 'permission denied' errors related to the file /etc/ntp.conf, as part of the 'Determining IP information for eth0' line. It still said [OK] after 'Determining IP information for eth0', but in fact eth0 had no IP address.
The permission denied errors were an SELinux issue which I fixed with
Code:
restorecon -v /etc/ntp.conf
Now the boot screen simply shows 'Determining IP information for eth0... [OK]', but eth0 still doesn't get an IP address at boot.
If I try running the same script when I log in, I do get an IP address, despite the error message:
Code:
~$ sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[sudo] password for root:
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0...dhclient(3557) is already running - exiting.
