I have updated some packages e.g. udev, openrc and others, after the next reboot, the lo interface is no longer present. Does anybody have an Idea how to fix it ?

How can i check if the interface is provided by the Kernel properly ?

/etc/init.d/net.lo start
Code:

* Bringing up interface lo
 *   Skipping module adsl due to missing program: /usr/sbin/adsl-start /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
 *   Skipping module br2684ctl due to missing program: br2684ctl
 *   Skipping module clip due to missing program: /usr/sbin/atmsigd
 *   Skipping module ipppd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/ipppd
 *   Skipping module firewalld due to missing program: firewall-cmd
 *   Skipping module pump due to missing program: /sbin/pump
 *   Skipping module dhcpcd due to missing program: dhcpcd
 *   Loaded modules: apipa arping bonding tuntap bridge ccwgroup ethtool macvlan macchanger macnet ifplugd wpa_supplicant ssidnet iproute2 pppd system vlan udhcpc ip6rd ip6to4
 *   ERROR: interface lo does not exist
 *   Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
 * ERROR: net.lo failed to start
