--- Comment #10 from Christian Boltz 2008-04-20 12:09:52 MST ---
I probably hit the same problem in beta1 *and* know the reason ;-)
This has nothing to do with DNS entries etc., the reason is much simpler. From
linuxrc log:
interface setup: eth1
net_activate: ifconfig eth1 up
net_activate: arping -c 1 -I eth1 -D 10.12.80.30 1>&2
sh: arping: command not found <-----------------------------------------
net_activate: ifconfig eth1 down
So the reason is that linuxrc calls arping which doesn't exist in the initial
stage of installation.
I didn't know about the forceip parameter and used this workaround:
cp /bin/mv /bin/arping
echo true > /bin/arping
This might look ugly, but chmod isn't available at this time. Copying an
existing executable file is a(nother) workaround that helps.
Reassigning to Steffen because this is an issue in linuxrc, not in the kernel.
BTW: The "forceip" parameter is not documented on en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc
