[gentoo-user] init.d/net* scripts fail with baselayout-1.11.7-r2

[gentoo-user] init.d/net* scripts fail with baselayout-1.11.7-r2

[Iain Buchanan]

recently I updated my system, including the baselayout update to
baselayout-1.11.7-r2.  However, when the system boots I get a message
from net.lo along the lines of

missing function: interface_variable

and all net devices, and everything that depends on net, fails to start.

So I added an empty interface_variables function in /etc/init.d/net.lo,
and then I get a message about missing interface_device, so I added that
as well.

This gets net.lo up, and hence the scripts that depend on it, but there
are lots of other complaints and net.eth0 doesn't start:

/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/iptunnel: line 56: interface_type: command
not found

and:
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/dhcpcd: line 128: clean_pidfile: command
not found
 *          dhcpcd is already running on eth0


I have to do ifconfig, route, and resolv.conf manually...

What's going on?  This has been happening for a day or so, but I haven't
seen anything on bugzilla or the archives, so is it just me?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

yes, the file is there.  Where should it be sourced from?  I couldn't
find any refernce to it in /etc/init.d or /sbin/runscript.sh...

from

/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions
/lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/iptunnel
/etc/init.d/net.lo


that is called if u have a line like this one
modules=( "iptunnel" )
in /etc/conf.d/net

Sorry, no ideas I can't help more (if not sending you that 3 files)

I had a similar problem yesterday updating my baselayout (although I was 
updating to a slightly older version).

I had forgotten to run etc-update afterwards - etc-update might have a 
new or updated version of the net.lo file for that baselayout.

I'd suggest checking etc-update to see if there are any versions..

Hope that helps,

John

etc-update? *shudder* !! I use dispatch-conf as well as my own home
grown etc updater - config-update.pl (shameless plug) which can be found
at http://iaindb.customer.netspace.net.au/

Anyway, my config files are fully updated.  I'm currently looking at
rolling back, but I can't figure out how to get the previous one from
dispatch conf yet...

thanks,

ok, I've gone back to the beginning.  When all scripts are untouched,
this is the error I get when starting any /etc/init.d/net.* script:

iwconfig: missing required function interface_variable

This error comes from /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/iwconfig  so in there
I add the line

source /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions

and all these script errors go away.  However, net.etho thinks it wants
to start with dhcp now

 * Starting eth0
 *    Bringing up eth0
 *       Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming dhcp
 *       eth0 dhcp
 *          Keeping kernel configuration for eth0
 *    Adding routes
 *       default gw 172.16.0.4 ...                                        [ !! ]
 *       203.39.28.126 gw 172.16.0.7 ...                                  [ ok ]
 *       147.66.40.208 gw 172.16.0.7 ...                                  [ ok ]

even though /etc/conf.d/net has the correct static configuration info in
it.

Any clues?
