1. Is there any messages in /var/log/messages why dhcpcd has died?
I didn't see any relevant message there, but I found the reason by replacing dhcpcd with a "echo $@ > /tmp/logfile" script ;-) dhcpcd is called this way: dhcpcd -D -N -t 999999 -B -h cboltz -c /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook eth1 # one line This results in: /sbin/dhcpcd.orig: invalid option -- 'B' It isn't very surprising that dhcpcd dies... The question is where the -B parameter comes from. (a minute later) Found it: /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp: ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # additional options, e.g. "-B" # DHCLIENT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS=" -B" I have no idea why this parameter is there. I doubt I added it myself, but I'm not sure. What I can say for sure: "-B" is there since at least a year (I don't have older backups) and didn't do any harm up to now. BTW: On a 10.2 system, the dhcpcd manpage says: -B Requests broadcast response from DHCP server. The solution for me is obviously to remove the -B (tested, works). The remaining question is where this -B comes from and if it should be removed on update. Please clarify this before closing this bugreport.
2. /sbin/dhcpcd -D -K -N -t 999999 -h linux -c \ /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook eth0
