[yocto] run-time problem - poky-image-lsb-sdk-beagleboard

[Robert Berger]

Hi,

Using rpm instead of ipk I'm able to build
poky-image-lsb-sdk-beagleboard even with the lastest and greatest from
git (commit aeaa356a5ee77b4596c479451a9db289381a4d16 Sat Mar 19 01:30:12
2011 +0000)

The problem I have now is, that on my beagle-xm networking does not seem
to get an IP address from my dhcp server.

root at beagleboard:~# ifconfig -a
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:5375 (5.2 KiB)  TX bytes:5375 (5.2 KiB)

usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 06:ba:3b:e0:1f:b2
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


Manually it seems to work:
root at beagleboard:~# ifconfig usb0 192.168.42.67
root at beagleboard:~# ifcusb0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:6140 (5.9 KiB)  TX bytes:6140 (5.9 KiB)

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1

          TX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:5472 (5.3 KiB)

A sato image built from exactly the same sources had dhcp working out of
the box.
