You might want to post to LKML about this. There was a related problem in 2.6.39, but you're using a recent kernel which has already fixed that problem. So you're seeing something new. You can also try the Linux kernel bugtracker: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ >>> PS: How do i deamonize a service on startup? DHCPCD for example? >> It has a service. You add it to the default runlevel: >> rc-update add dhcpcd default > It is started automatically, but cant it be ran in the background? It takes some time which isnt necessary. Thanks so far anyway. Reading the dhcpcd man page says: -b, --background Background immediately. This is useful for startup scripts which don't disable link messages for carrier status. So to use that option, edit /etc/conf.d/net and use: dhcpcd_eth0="--background" and see if it helps.
