Both at a stable and at an unstable Gentoo Linux UML image openrc-0.9.8.4 prevents net.eth0 from starting (first observed with openrc-0.9.8). Copying the (fortunately before) back'ed up net.lo script over /etc/init.d/net.lo solves the problem - I could restart the network. n22_uml /etc/init.d # cat /etc/conf.d/net # net.eth0 # # TAP1 + dhcp # config_eth0="192.168.1.50/16 dhcp" # TUN + static # #config_eth0="192.168.0.50/16" #routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.253" #dns_servers_eth0="192.168.0.254" dhcp_eth0="nontp" dhcpcd_eth0="-L -t 10 -h n22_uml_dyn" Reproducible: Always Actual Results: n22_uml /etc/init.d # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart * Caching service dependencies ...

It looks like you have a typo in your /etc/rc.conf/net. Try with the following change: config_eth0="192.168.1.50/16 dhcp" should be: config_eth0="192.168.1.50/16 dhcp" Note the newline is required. Let me know if that works.
(In reply to comment #2) > Note the newline is required. Gaah - never realized that (and it worked all the time :-)
It used to just work as long as each of the first arguments before it was a plain address, but coming up with a fix to allow options to addresses meant we had to start enforcing the newline requirement. Back in BL1, they would have been separate array elements.
