rcnetwork ignores eth0 during the first run
Last modified: 2007-06-05 09:37:16 UTC
When booting a system, rcnetwork ignores eth0. When run the second time, it is found and brought up. Combined with bug 135589, logging in is not possible, runlevel 1 must be used. Logs follow.
Created attachment 61354 [details] ifcfg-eth-id-00:50:fc:f7:de:d8
Created attachment 61355 [details] netdebug4 I booted to runlevel 1. This is the first run of "rcnetwork start -o debug >netdebug4 2>&1" Note that eth0 exists in /sys/class/net but not in PHYSICAL_INTERFACES. /var/run/sysconfig/new-stamp-3 contains "renamed".
Created attachment 61357 [details] netdebug5 This is the second run: "rcnetwork start -o debug >netdebug5 2>&1" /var/run/sysconfig/new-stamp-2 contains "unknown".
Petr, I suppose this has started to work in the meanwile, right?

There are still some problems at boottime. I have fixes for most issues, but i still need to test them. Stay tuned for next beta.

Patches are in svn now and will be in beta4. Please test this, since all this is very prone to race conditions. Thus i cannot catch eb´very case myself. It may already be tested internal with package from mbuild/oran-zoz-12.
Still not fixed completely, sigh.
There were still some wrong returnvalues which made rcnetwork think that setup of interface did succeed desipte it had still to wait. It had worked in some cases even with wrong returnvalues, but additionally there was no /dev/shm/sysconfig early enough. So rename_netiface could not write renaming state and rcnetwork had to guess it. This is also fixed now. See bug 150828. Fixes will be into beta4.
Submitted fixed package. You can also use packages from /mounts/mbuild/fix-zoz-2
Now with Beta 6 situation got worse: "rcnetwork status" says: running but network is not there. After "rcnetwork restart" we get: running but network is still not there and the DHCP client (unlike in earlier betas) does not get an ip address. My workaround: Set a static address and do a "rcnetwork restart".
Is that still valid? If yes, please set /etc/sysconfig/network/config:DEBUG=yes and then send me the complete output from network boot script (from /var/log/boot.msg).
No reaction for two weeks. Further no other reoprts regarding this and i did not have this problem on my machines. Back to 'fixed'.
