Network on boot
« on: May 12, 2010, 12:58:33 PM »
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.

You can manage the list of extensions loaded on boot using Appsaudit -> onboot.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
