Description Karel De Vriendt 2009-08-08 05:22:07 UTC

After upgrade to sys-apps/openrc-0.5.0-r2, network does not start at boot but must be started manually

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to openrc-0.5.0.-rc2
2. upgrade configuration files
3. reboot

Actual Results:  
Network does not start. Error message:
....
ADDCADDRI:file exists.
 cannot start netmount as net.eth1 could not start
.... 

Expected Results:  
Network should come up as net.eth1 is in default runlevel

After the upgrade, /etc/init.d/net.lo is upgraded to a very simple script that is explicitely mentioning lo. Hence the link linking net.eth1 to net.lo is not useful any more.

/etc/init.d/net.lo:

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {

}

start() {
ebegin "Bringing up network interface lo"
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up && \
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo
eend $?
}

stop() {
ebegin "Shutting down network interface lo"
route del -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo &&
ifconfig lo down
eend $?
}
