Unable to obtain IP via DHCP

Postby VoodooSteve » Fri Apr 26, 2013 10:04 pm

I'm trying to get Arch Linux running on my Raspberry Pi but I'm unable to connect to the internet. On boot, I'm told "Failed to start Netcfg networking service for profile ethernet-eth0". When I run dhcpcd manually, it fails and repeats
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
dhcpcd[496]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[496]: eth0: offered *.*.*.* from *.*.*.*
dhcpcd[496]: eth0: NAK: requested address not available from *.*.*.*
')
I've booted the Pi into Raspian and I'm able to connect to the internet so I'm guessing it's some kind of Arch configuration problem. Any ideas where the issue might be?

Try $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ip link') to see what the name of the name of the adapter. It's likely not eth0 but different like ifb0. Next read the Arch Wiki entry for netcfg [1] closely. that should give you enough leads to solve this issue.
