Description Alexander Isacson 2003-02-12 11:50:25 UTC
As seen from the output from the startup scripts below eth0 fails and thus all
network services. The I login and just start them up and they work fine.

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-02-12 12:19:13 UTC
what version of baselayout ? 
Comment 2 Alexander Isacson 2003-02-12 13:17:36 UTC
*  sys-apps/baselayout
      Latest version available: 1.8.5.8
      Latest version installed: 1.8.6.2
      Size of downloaded files: 89 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.gentoo.org/
      Description: Base layout for Gentoo Linux filesystem (incl. initscripts and sysvinit)

Hmm... I really don't know why I have a higher version installed then what is available. Should I downgrade?
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-16 03:51:28 UTC
First see why '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start' fails ?
Comment 4 Alexander Isacson 2003-02-25 04:44:32 UTC
I already downgraded and I haven't had any problems since. If it reoccurs I'll get back to you.
Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-26 02:56:50 UTC
Ok, reopen if this is an issue again.
