Hello, I'm running a diskless Soekris net4526 (i386 architecture) and I have encountered a problem when using dhcp setting on my hostname.sis0 file. The booting process stops at 'Starting network'.
If I set the interface's hostname.sis0 to static IP, everything works OK. If I bring up the interface statically and _then_ run netstart, it also hangs as it does in the boot process. air# echo "dhcp" >/etc/hostname.sis0 air# /etc/netstart -n sis0 ifconfig sis0 down;dhclient sis0 air# /etc/netstart sis0 At this point the machine stops responding and must be hard-reset. ^C doesn't do anything. If I replicate the steps /etc/netstart takes and run ifconfig and dhclient separately, it appears as the problem resides in dhclient, as it straight up freezes and doesn't respond to ^C: air# ifconfig sis0 down air# dhclient -v sis0 However, if I set my IP configuration statically to somewhere in my subnet and then run dhclient, everything works as it should: air# ifconfig sis0 sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:24:c4:56:20 index 2 priority 0 llprio 3 groups: netboot media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet 192.168.16.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.16.255 air# dhclient -v sis0 sis0: DHCPDISCOVER - interval 1 sis0: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.16.1 (00:22:4d:a6:12:6f) sis0: DHCPREQUEST to 255.255.255.255 sis0: DHCPACK from 192.168.16.1 (00:22:4d:a6:12:6f) sis0: bound to 192.168.16.11 from 192.168.16.1 (00:22:4d:a6:12:6f) air# My dmesg output: OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC) #490: Sat Mar 24 14:31:33 MDT 2018 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: AMD Am486DX4 W/B or Am5x86 W/B 150 ("AuthenticAMD" 486-class) cpu0: FPU real mem = 66600960 (63MB) avail mem = 51486720 (49MB) warning: no entropy supplied by boot loader mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: date 20/80/03, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xf7840 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.0 @ 0xf0000/0x10000 pcibios0: pcibios_get_intr_routing - function not supported pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing information unavailable. pcibios0: PCI bus #0 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc8000/0x9000 cpu0 at mainbus0: (uniprocessor) pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) elansc0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "AMD ElanSC520 PCI" rev 0x00: product 0 stepping 1.1, CPU clock 133MHz, reset 0 gpio0 at elansc0: 32 pins ath0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 10 ath0: AR5414 10.5 phy 6.1 rf2414 6.3 eeprom 5.2, FCC2A*, address 00:0c:42:1b:f6:0e sis0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 "NS DP83815 10/100" rev 0x00, DP83816A: irq 11, address 00:00:24:c4:56:20 nsphyter0 at sis0 phy 0: DP83815 10/100 PHY, rev. 1 isa0 at mainbus0 isadma0 at isa0 com0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo com0: console com1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 irq 1 irq 12 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard wdc1 at isa0 port 0x170/8 irq 15 wd0 at wdc1 channel 0 drive 0: <064MB ATA Flash Disk> wd0: 1-sector PIO, LBA, 61MB, 125056 sectors wd0(wdc1:0:0): using BIOS timings pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 spkr0 at pcppi0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16 vscsi0 at root scsibus1 at vscsi0: 256 targets softraid0 at root scsibus2 at softraid0: 256 targets PXE boot MAC address 00:00:24:c4:56:20, interface sis0 nfs_boot: using interface sis0, with revarp & bootparams nfs_boot: client_addr=192.168.16.11 nfs_boot: server_addr=192.168.16.1 hostname=air root on 192.168.16.1:/var/exports/air nfs_boot: bootparam get swap: 60 WARNING: no swap Is there something I am missing? -- Thanks in advance Kristjan Komlosi
