Description Patrick Kirsch 2005-09-08 12:27:58 UTC

Problem: NIS install on G4 failed, because no network is loaded. 
Although in network configuration dialog both eth-cards are set to dhcp.
In the NIS dialog check the option retrieve via dhcp. 
And the error rises ypbind could not start.
There are 2 network cards, eth0 is unplugged and eth1 is plugged.

IMHO, the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0  conflicts with the udev rule
in /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules.

Comment 2 Martin Vidner 2005-09-08 14:10:06 UTC

Hwinfo tells yast neither the MAC nor the bus position of the BMAC NIC. So 
yast uses just eth as the configuration identifier. The bmac module was loaded 
so I rule out the case that a missing module causes missing information.

Patrick what does hwinfo --netcard say? 
If it doesn't provide the data either, Steffen should fix it.

I need the result of 'getsysinfo' in that case.
