Bug 17809 – Update to baselayout 1.8.6.2 causes eth0 to start before calling net.eth0 script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrzej 2003-03-19 03:54:27 UTC]

I Updated to baselayout 1.8.6.2  and that caused that now my network card
starts without net.eth0 script in any runlevel.
I noticed that after upgrading to baselyout 1.8.6.2 from 1.8.5.x I had two
instances of dhcpcd running and while booting my net.eth0 script complained that
there was already running processes (don't exactly remember what was that it was
saying).
Just to check what's going on i removed with "rc-update del net.eth0 default"
net.eth0 and my network was still up after booting up and i still dont know what
is causing that. 
I still have that problem with baselayout-1.8.6.4.

If you have 'hotplug' installed, this will happen ...

[Comment 2 Andrzej 2003-03-21 12:06:54 UTC]

Hi
That really seems to be caused by hotplug.
I unmerged hotplug and my eth0 wasn't up after boot.
What can I do about besides unmerging hotplug or not using net.eth0 script ? :)
Thank You

add

after net.eth0 into hotplug init script
before hotplug into net.eth0 init script

looks like Martin gave the answer here. Closing.
