 Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 4:02 am Post subject: net.lo/eth0,1 vary from boot to boot |
 |
|
Sometimes when I boot my Thinkpad X40 laptop (unwired) net.lo comes up, and sometimes it doesn't.
When it doesn't come up the wireless interface is eth0 (my static IP eth0 doesn't come up),
and when it does come up the wireless interface is eth1 (the static IP eth0 does come up).
I'd post the init messages, but I can't get to them (even with showconsole
and /var/log/boot.msg). I'm using the latest stable baselayout, and my /etc/conf.d/net is
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "x.x.x.x broadcast x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw x.x.x.x" )
|
I only put the static IP in here b/c I don't want the wireless interface to come up at boot.
And like the subject says, this varies from boot to boot, which seems quite strange.
Incidentally I also get all sorts of udev errors, but I can't get to them either since they
don't appear in /var/log/boot.msg. I wouldn't be surprised if the problems are related, though.

Editing your /etc/modules.d/aliases and specify what module belong to eachnetwork interface may be the answer. Never donne it but makes since this way.
