Description Forgotten User E4aj6OYf6m 2009-01-06 10:32:07 UTC

I have this problem on several PCs now and I have no more idea where to search for the problem. I configure via yast a network card. In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net it gets "eth0". Everything works. But on reboot, I get "interface could not be setup until now" (see attached pic #1) and the PC starts without network.
Then I login, make "ifdown eth0;ifup eth0" and the network is there...?? (see attached pic #2). 

Why the f*ck doesn't the network script work correctly? I have this problem on bare metal PCs as well as XEN VMs (so I could make this screenshots). What is the cause of the problem? I only configured the interface using YaST, so it really just should work.

Thanks in advance

Why does it work after just ifdown;ifup ?

I just found my old bug report #435880 where I had the same problem - again, I could say. The solution is described there, but the bug is still NEW since 3 months. Please someone fix this!

I've verified it: after commenting out the /dev/shm line from /etc/fstab, networking auto starts again.
