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.

what version of baselayout ?
* 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?
First see why '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start' fails ?
I already downgraded and I haven't had any problems since. If it reoccurs I'll get back to you.
Ok, reopen if this is an issue again.
