Title: Network on boot
Post by: jjacobs on May 12, 2010, 09:58:33 AM

I have this strange issue.  I have enabled my tinycore linux box to use grub and boot from the hard drive.  All my extensions appear to be loading except the network.  I always have to install firmware-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz after boot. Next I become root via su. Finally I run dhcp.sh in the /etc/init.d directory.  Then the network is up.

I originally had to load firmware-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz using appbrowser locally from a CD.  I have since copied the frimware extension to my tce/options directory on the hard drive hoping that it would automagically be installed at boot, but I still have to go through the above procedure.

I would very much like the network to be enabled during boot.

Any suggestions?

Check /tce/onboot.lst file If you just copied over the extension without adding to the list it is not loaded.

Expecting you are using uptodate version.

Thank you Bmarkus.  That worked! I may very shortly never use another OS!!!

You can manage the list of extensions loaded on boot using Appsaudit -> onboot.
