No gateway set when kernel IP configuration is used (DHCP/PXE)

    Hi all,

    I'm net booting a La Frite board and found that I don't have a default route set. The kernel receives it OK:

    Code
    Feb 27 18:26:06 living.redacted kernel: Sending DHCP requests ., OK
Feb 27 18:26:06 living.redacted kernel: IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.0.1, my address is 192.168.0.47
Feb 27 18:26:06 living.redacted kernel: IP-Config: Complete:
Feb 27 18:26:06 living.redacted kernel:      device=eth0, hwaddr=18:66:c7:3e:fe:bf, ipaddr=192.168.0.47, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=192.168.0.1

    But route only shows the local 192.168.0.0/24.

    I was also surprised to be unable to find the network settings, and came across this: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/3936

    So that makes sense. However, it seems like something has gone missing in the process. I guess the kernel isn't configuring the gateway (because it doesn't need it?)?

    The DHCP server is dnsmasq and it's serving a fixed IP to that MAC address and I'm running the "Current Latest Stable Version (2024.05)" / 12.0.0.

    For now I've solved it with a systemd oneshot service but that seems like an ugly hack. Any ideas where else to look?

    Thanks!

    May not help, but default route is still active on Generic (X86).

    On such a Generic system I would first check with break=prepare_sysroot kernel parameter if the config is correct in init. But this may require some debug shell serial line setup with your board.

    Then with route >~/autostart.route in autostart.sh if it is still there before starting kodi.
