Network does not auto start, have to login and ifdown/ifup and it works
Last modified: 2009-01-19 16:06:43 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 mfg zmi

Created attachment 263340 [details] Screenshot: network starts after ifdown eth0;ifup eth0 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. mfg zmi
