Now that I've got the serial console working, I've been trying to
get a static IP set up. It seems the man pages list the ip=
arguments in the wrong order. Now I have a static IP, eth0 is UP but not RUNNING. Looking at dmesg I have: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready My network connection worked fine with dhcp. Any Ideas? -Ryan P.S. Here are more details on figuring out static IPs From the live-initramfs man pages: ip=**[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF] [,[CLIENT_IP]:[SERVER_IP]:[GATEWAY_IP]:[NETMASK]:[HOSTNAME]:[DEVICE]:[AUTOCONF]]***:: Let you specify the name(s) and the options of the interface(s) that should be configured at boot time. Do not specify this if you want to use dhcp (default). It will be changed in a future release to mimick official kernel boot param specification (e.g. ip=10.0.0.1::10.0.0.254:255.255.255.0::eth0,:::::eth1:dhcp). What I'm using in my live.cfg file: label live-686-pae persistence serial staticIP menu label ^Live (686-pae) persistence serial staticIP menu default linux /live/vmlinuz2 initrd /live/initrd2.img append boot=live live-getty console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 ip=152.119.xxx.63::152.19.xxx.1:255.255.254.0:debian_live:eth0: persistence config quiet splash After I'm booted, networking isn't running. The contents of /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug 152.19.xxx.63 iface 152.19.xxx.63 inet static address netmask 152.19.xxx.1 gateway 255.255.254.0 Which is all scrambled. I changed the line in live.cfg to read ip=A:B:C:D:E:F:G Which gave me an interfaces file like this: allow-hotplug A iface A inet static address B netmask C gateway D and /etc/resolv.conf was: nameserver E So I re-ordered my arguments to: ip=eth0:<my IP address>:<my netmask>:<gateway IP>:8.8.8.8:: and now eth0 is UP with the right values, but not RUNNING. -Ryan |
