No IPv6 Routers available

[campsec]

I've been beating on ArchLinux for a few days on my Rpi to no avail. Boots ok from the SD card but I don't get assigned an IP address from DHCP. Same setup runs Debian fine. Using a good power supply with plenty of power. When boot goes to configure the network everyone on my network gets kicked off. The error in dmesg is "eth0: no IPv6 routers present"

/etc/rc.conf looks like:

interface=eth0
eth0=dhcp
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=

I appreciate any suggestions.

Remove this line
eth0=dhcp

Hi Pepedog, thanks for the reply. In or out that line made no difference. Anything you would recommend I check? This is the distribution off the Raspberry Pi download site. Sha1 checked correctly. Made the changes everyone else made, still no IP address. Also, it takes my network down and kicks all other machines off. I've played around with a ton of stuff with no positive results. Tried disabling IPv6. The only thing I haven't tried is to go with a static IP address. Would like to use DHCP. I will also be testing wireless once the wired network is up. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

you could try editing /boot/cmdline.txt, add this
ipv6.disable=1
Remember, that file has just one line, and reboot after

I had tried something like that before but tried exactly as you suggested again same result. Here is last portion of dmesg output:

Guess I'll try a static IP later on today. If you have any other things I might try please let me know. Thanks again.

Still no solution for this, DHCP will not assign a Dynamic address. I switched to static and everything is fine. If anyone else is seeing this please let me know. If I do find a solution I will post here. Thanks.

I'm also having the same issue. Disabling ipv6 gets rid of the ipv6 error messages, but ipv4 dhcp still times out. I haven't tried using a static IP yet.

[pepedog]

Do you have access to another network, to see if hardware faulty?

[firro]

In my case I have several other machines on the network using dhcp without a hitch.

I'm still seeing this issue. I'm going to compile udhcpc and replace dhcpcd to see if the problem clears up. I tried the hardware on another network with different timing and dhcpcd worked correctly. So it looks like it's a network/dhcpcd combination that causes the error. Don't think my network is out of spec but it could be as the router is several years old. There are plenty of machines on the network and none have ever had this issue.
