I have a really weird problem with my Raspberry Pi.

It runs correctly when I reboot it via the command reboot.

After this it starts up and doesn't answer any network request. I have tried ssh, httpd, samba and ping. If I kill it by removing the power plug and restarting it it works as expected.

The other side is if I'm rebooting it via reboot -f it starts the services as it should and I can connect to the ssh server as normal.

Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Solution: The error is based on dhcpcd which is not shutting down correctly. Adding the line DHClient = 'yes' in the /etc/network.d/ethernet-eth0-file and installing the package dhclient fixed it. systemctl disable dcpcd@eth0 should be executed for not getting the error again.

  • What(if any) messages are spawned during its reboot? Will have to connect to display to observe.

  • Nope it's not spawning any message at reboot. Ethernet is connected as after a normal boot (or forced reboot).

Here's my solution to the problem with the services failing to start:
