patch to net.lo to mark sysfs as a prerequisite

After upgrading my SheevaPlug from openrc 0.9.8.1 to 0.9.9.3 it fails to activate lo and eth0 upon boot. The scripts log:

 * Bringing up interface lo
 *   ERROR: interface lo does not exist
 *   Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
 * ERROR: net.lo failed to start
 * Bringing up interface eth0
 *   ERROR: interface eth0 does not exist
 *   Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
 * ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start

It turns out, that net.lo depends on sysfs being mounted which is normally the case if udev is in use because udev in turn pulls in sysfs. But my SheevaPlug runs without udev with a static /dev.

Adding sysfs as a need to net.lo solves the problem for me.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Micha

InGit, commit 37af169

[Comment 2 William Hubbs 2012-04-03 23:35:27 UTC]

I would rather see this dependency in the net.lo script instead of in the linux-specific modules.

I'll work on a patch shortly.

[Comment 3 William Hubbs 2012-04-04 01:05:55 UTC]

Commit be5de32 moves the need dependency to be in net.lo, and only
applies it to linux systems since sysfs is not included on *bsd.
